Development of the indirect-drive approach to inertial confinement fusion and the target physics basis for ignition and gain
Tập 2 Số 11 - Trang 3933-4024 - 1995
Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is an approach to fusion that relies on the
inertia of the fuel mass to provide confinement. To achieve conditions under
which inertial confinement is sufficient for efficient thermonuclear burn, a
capsule (generally a spherical shell) containing thermonuclear fuel is
compressed in an implosion process to conditions of high density and
temperature. ICF capsules re...
Energetic proton generation in ultra-intense laser–solid interactions
Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 542-549 - 2001
An explanation for the energetic ions observed in the PetaWatt experiments is
presented. In solid target experiments with focused intensities exceeding
1020 W/cm2, high-energy electron generation, hard bremsstrahlung, and energetic
protons have been observed on the backside of the target. In this report, an
attempt is made to explain the physical process present that will explain the
presence of t...
Comparisons and physics basis of tokamak transport models and turbulence simulations
Tập 7 Số 3 - Trang 969-983 - 2000
The predictions of gyrokinetic and gyrofluid simulations of
ion-temperature-gradient (ITG) instability and turbulence in tokamak plasmas as
well as some tokamak plasma thermal transport models, which have been widely
used for predicting the performance of the proposed International Thermonuclear
Experimental Reactor (ITER) tokamak [Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear

Filamentation of ultrashort pulse laser beams resulting from their propagation over long distances in air
Tập 6 Số 5 - Trang 1615-1621 - 1999
The propagation of high-power short-pulse laser beams over considerable
distances in air is studied both experimentally and via numerical simulations.
Filaments are formed after 5–10 m and their propagation over distances in excess
of 200 m is reported for the first time. The lateral dimensions of the filaments
are found to range from about 100 μm to a few millimeters in diameter. The early
values...
Parametric investigations of a nonconventional Hall thruster
Tập 8 Số 5 - Trang 2579-2586 - 2001
Hall thrusters might better scale to low power with nonconventional geometry. A
9 cm cylindrical, ceramic-channel, Hall thruster with a cusp-type magnetic field
distribution has been investigated. It exhibits discharge characteristics
similar to conventional coaxial Hall thrusters, but does not expose as much
channel surface. Significantly, its operation is not accompanied by large
amplitude disch...
A review of the ablative stabilization of the Rayleigh–Taylor instability in regimes relevant to inertial confinement fusion
Tập 1 Số 5 - Trang 1379-1389 - 1994
It has been recognized for many years that the most significant limitation of
inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is the Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) instability. It
limits the distance an ablatively driven shell can be moved to several times its
initial thickness. Fortunately material flow through the unstable region at
velocity vA reduces the growth rate to √kg/1+kL−βkvA with β from 2–3. In recent
years e...
Response to “Comment on ‘A new mathematical approach for finding the solitary waves in dusty plasma’ ” [Phys. Plasmas 6, 4392 (1999)]

Low-frequency, high-density, inductively coupled plasma sources: Operation and applications
Tập 8 Số 5 - Trang 2549-2557 - 2001
Operation regimes, plasma parameters, and applications of the low-frequency
(∼500 kHz) inductively coupled plasma (ICP) sources with a planar external coil
are investigated. It is shown that highly uniform, high-density (ne∼9×1012 cm−3)
plasmas can be produced in low-pressure argon discharges with moderate rf
powers. The low-frequency ICP sources operate in either electrostatic (E) or
electromagne...
Perspectives, frontiers, and new horizons for plasma-based space electric propulsion
Tập 27 Số 2 - 2020
There are a number of pressing problems mankind is facing today that could, at
least in part, be resolved by space systems. These include capabilities for fast
and far-reaching telecommunication, surveying of resources and climate, and
sustaining global information networks, to name but a few. Not surprisingly,
increasing efforts are now devoted to building a strong near-Earth satellite
infrastruc...
( 3 + 1 ) -dimensional generalized Johnson model for cosmic dust-ion-acoustic nebulons with symbolic computation
Tập 13 Số 12 - 2006
In a cosmic dusty plasma, both azimuthal and height perturbations of a nonplanar
cylindrical geometry are considered. For dust-ion-acoustic waves and with
symbolic computation, (3+1)-dimensional generalized Johnson [(3+1)DGJ] model is
derived and analytic solutions are constructed. Supernova-shell-typed expanding
bright (3+1)DGJ nebulons and Saturn-F-ring-type expanding dark (3+1)DGJ nebulons
are ...
