Abstract:

This paper traces the development of nuclear fusion research and describes the basic principles involved. The most advanced device used to achieve controlled thermonuclear fusion is the magnetic confinement approach, utilizing the tokamak concept. The Joint European Torus (JET) is the largest tokamak in operation. The operating conditions are described and critical issues outlined. With concerted effort and international collaboration the possibility exists to produce a demonstration reactor.

AbstractA fundamental problem for the realization of laser fusion through the implosion of a spherical target is Kidder's E−1/6 law, where E is the energy needed for ignition, proportional to the 6th power of the ratio R/R0, where R0 and R are the initial and final implosion radii, respectively. This law implies that the ignition energy is very sensitive to the ratio R0/R, or vice versa, the ratio R0/R is very insensitive to the energy input, with R0/R limited by the Rayleigh–Taylor instability.

AbstractA new method for increasing the angular range of a waveguide antenna for remote steering of the wave-beam direction in thermonuclear-fusion experimental setups with plasma magnetic confinement is proposed. Characteristics for large beam inclination angles can be improved using the synthesized nonuniform waveguide profile. For small angles, the characteristics remain invariable, the waveguide profile differs only slightly from the regular shape, and can be fit to limited waveguide-channel sizes.

Abstract:

This paper provides an overview of nuclear fusion, which is considered as an ideal energy source for the future, with emphasis on its theoretical foundation and tokamak device. In nuclear fusion, the mass of products is always less than the mass of reactants, and this mass defect is converted into enormous released energy. Scientists have proposed several ideas to reach such extreme conditions for nuclear fusion. Among these concepts, the tokamak device which uses magnetic fields to generate heat and confine high temperature plasma is probably the most promising one. Over the last half century

Abstract:

On the path towards a thermonuclear fusion reactor there are several technological and physical uncertainties to be understood and solved. One of the most fundamental problems is the appearance of many sorts of instabilities which can either enhance the energy outflow or even destroy the magnetic confinement of the fusion plasma. The knowledge of such instabilities is a prerequisite to a good understanding of the behaviour of actual experiments, and to the design of new devices. Most of the effort is devoted to the study of axisymmetric toroidal configurations such as tokamaks or spheromaks an

In the dynamic environment of burning, thermonuclear deuterium–tritium plasmas, diagnosing the time-resolved neutron energy spectrum is of critical importance.

Here, we present a novel concept for a simple, precise, and scale-able diagnostic to measure time-resolved neutron spectra in ICF plasmas. The concept leverages general tomographic reconstruction techniques adapted to time-of-flight parameter space, and then employs a

Abstract:

The use of thermonuclear fusion as a source for energy generation has been a goal of plasma physics for more than six decades. Its advantages are many: easy access to fuel and virtually unlimited supply; no production of greenhouse gases; and little radioactive waste produced. But heating fuel to the high temperature necessary for fusion—at least 100 million degrees Celsius—and containing it at that level has proved to be a difficult challenge. The ring-shaped magnetic confinement of tokamaks, which emerged in the 1960s, was quickly identified as the most promising approach and remains so toda

Abstract In electron (cyclotron) heated plasmas, in both ASDEX Upgrade (L-mode) and Wendelstein 7-X, clamping of the ion temperature occurs at T i ∼ 1.5 keV independent of magnetic configuration. The ions in such plasmas are heated through the energy exchange power as n e 2 ( T e − T i ) / T e 3 / 2 , which offers a broad ion heating profile, similar to that offered by alpha heating in future thermonuclear fusion reactors. However, the predominant electron heating may put an additional constraint on the ion heat transport, as the ratio T e/T i > 1 can exacerbates ITG/TEM core turbulence. Th

However, these efforts have permitted researchers the obtention of a dense plasma with a lifetime that, albeit short, is sufficient to study the physics of the pinch effect, to create methods of plasma diagnostics, and to develop a modern theory of plasma processes.

Abstract:

AbstractIn order to implement a Scenario of π− catalysis of Deuterium–Tritium (DT) thermonuclear reactions in a dense and hot precompressed target plasma envisioned in the Intertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) fast ignition approach, we pay detailed attention to the stopping of negative pions arising from electro-disintregration of target D and T nuclei by ultra-relativistic e-beams. Emphasis is put on a mostly non-relativistic pion velocity regime (E ≤ 10 MeV).

Abstract:

AbstractIn this paper, thermonuclear burning of the deuterium-tritium (D/T) plasma of an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) target is studied in the presence of low-Z impurities (lithium, beryllium, and carbon) with arbitrary concentrations. The effect of impurities produced due to the mixing of the thermonuclear fuel with the material of the structural elements of the target during its compression on the process of target burning is studied. Also, the effect of impurity concentration on the plasma ignition parameters such as ignition temperature, confinement parameter ρR, and ignition energy a

Abstract:

A configuration made up of two nested magnetically insulated transmission lines, the inner one carrying a high voltage lower current - and the outer one a high current lower voltage - pulse, was in a previous communication proposed for the ignition of a magnetic field assisted thermonuclear detonation wave. Unlike the fast ignition concept, it does not require the compression of the DT fusion fuel to densities in excess of the solid state. Here I show that with the same configuration, but by surrounding the DT fusion fuel with a blanket of solid U238, Th232 or B10, the ignition of a thermonucl

Abstract:

As it is known, the main efforts of the international community to solve the problem of controlled thermonuclear fusion are concentrated mainly on the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project. The achievement of positive results in this project is still very problematic. Experimental data show the absence of plasma retention in a stable state. The effectiveness of the magnetic field is limited only by heating the plasma, but not by its retention in a stable state, and at the moment it is an indisputable experimental fact.
