Enhanced alpha channeling with spin-polarized fuel
J. F. Parisi, A. Diallo, J. W. S. Cook
The nuclear spin state of deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuel sets both the D-T fusion cross section and the emission direction of the fusion-born alphas and neutrons. We show two ways th…

Persistence of Deuterium and Tritium Nuclear Spin-Polarization in Presence of High-Frequency Plasma Waves
J. W. S. Cook, H. Ali, J. F. Parisi +2
We present first-principles numerical calculations of the depolarization rate of spin-polarized deuterium and tritium nuclei in realistic tokamak plasmas, driven by resonant intera…
