Focusability in the multi-pump Raman amplification of short laser pulses
K. V. Lezhnin, K. Qu, N. J. Fisch
Spatially combining multiple strong laser beams is a promising concept for achieving ultrahigh laser intensities. Proof-of-principle experiments have been conducted at the National…
Wave-Supported Hybrid Fast-Thermal p-B Fusion
E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs, N. J. Fisch
The possibility of fusion ignition in proton-Boron plasma is strongly enhanced if the energy from the fusion-produced particles is channeled to fast protons, but in an e…
Improving the Feasibility of Economical Proton-Boron 11 Fusion via Alpha Channeling with a Hybrid Fast and Thermal Proton Scheme
Ian E. Ochs, Elijah J. Kolmes, Mikhail E. Mlodik +2
The proton-Boron 11 (p-B11) fusion reaction is much harder to harness for commercial power than the easiest fusion reaction, namely the deuterium and tritium (DT) reaction. The p-B…
Wave propagation in rotating magnetised plasmas
Renaud Gueroult, Jean-Marcel Rax, Nathaniel J. Fisch
Wave propagation properties in a medium are fundamentally affected when this medium is moving instead of at rest. In isotropic dielectric media rotation has two noteworthy contribu…
Minimum Stabilizing Energy Release for Mixing Processes
E. J. Kolmes, N. J. Fisch
Diffusive operations, which mix the populations of different elements of phase space, can irreversibly transform a given initial state into any of a spectrum of different states fr…
Fueling limits in a cylindrical viscosity-limited reactor
Tal Rubin, Elijah J. Kolmes, Ian E. Ochs +2
Recently, a method to achieve a "natural hot-ion mode" was suggested, by utilizing ion viscous heating in a rotating plasma with a fixed boundary. We explore the steady-state solut…
