Energy Spectrum of Lost Alpha Particles in Magnetic Mirror Confinement
Alejandro Mesa Dame, Ian E. Ochs, Nathaniel J. Fisch
In a magnetic mirror fusion reactor, capturing the energy of fusion-produced alpha particles is essential to sustaining the reaction. However, since alpha particles are born at ene…
