Magnetically catalyzed fusion [PDF]
Physical Review C, 1996 We calculate the reaction cross-sections for the fusion of hydrogen and deuterium in strong magnetic fields as are believed to exist in the atmospheres of neutron stars. We find that in the presence of a strong magnetic field ($B \gsim 10^{12}$G), the reaction rates are many orders of magnitude higher than in the unmagnetized case.

Magnetless magnetic fusion [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1994 We propose a concept of thermonuclear fusion reactor is which the plasma pressure is balanced by direct gas‐wall interaction in a high‐pressure vessel. The energy confinement is achieved by means of the self‐contained toroidal magnetic configuration sustained by an external current drive or charged fusion products.

Fusion, magnetic confinement [PDF]
, 1992 An overview is presented of the principles of magnetic confinement of plasmas for the purpose of achieving controlled fusion conditions. Sec. 1 discusses the different nuclear fusion reactions which can be exploited in prospective fusion reactors and explains why special technologies need to be developed for the supply of tritium or {sup 3}He, the ...

Auto-magnetizing liners for magnetized inertial fusion
Physics of Plasmas, 2017 The MagLIF (Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion) concept [Slutz et al., Phys. Plasmas 17, 056303 (2010)] has demonstrated fusion-relevant plasma conditions [Gomez et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 155003 (2014)] on the Z accelerator using external field coils to magnetize the fuel before compression.

Physics of magnetic confinement fusion [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 Fusion is the energy source of the universe. The local conditions in the core of the Sun allow the transfer of mass into energy, which is finally released in the form of radiation. Technical fusion melts deuterons and tritons to helium releasing large amounts of energy per fusion process. Because of the conditions for fusion, which will be deduced, the

LiWALL FUSION — THE NEW CONCEPT OF MAGNETIC FUSION [PDF]
Problems of Atomic Science and Technology, Ser. Thermonuclear Fusion, 2011 Utilization of the outstanding abilities of a liquid lithium layer in pumping hydrogen isotopes leads to a new approach to magnetic fusion, called the LiWall Fusion. It relies on innovative plasma regimes with low edge density and high temperature. The approach combines fueling the plasma by neutral injection beams with the best possible elimination of

Magnetized target fusion and fusion propulsion [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2002 Magnetized target fusion (MTF) is a thermonuclear fusion concept that is intermediate between the two mainline approaches, magnetic confinement and inertial confinement fusion (MCF and ICF). MTF incorporates some aspects of each and offers advantages over each of the mainline approaches.

Superconducting Magnets for Fusion Applications [PDF]
, 1988 Fusion magnet technology has made spectacular advances in the past decade; to wit, the Mirror Fusion Test Facility and the Large Coil Project, However, further advances are still required for advanced economigal fusion reactors. Higher fields to 14 T and radiation-hardened supercgndugtors and insulators Will be necessary.

Complete and robust magnetic field confinement by superconductors in fusion magnets
Scientific ReportsAbstractThe fusion created by magnetically confined plasma is a promising clean and essentially unlimited future energy source. However, there are important problems hindering controlled fusion like the imperfect magnetic confinement and the associated plasma instabilities. We theoretically demonstrate how to create a fully confined magnetic field with

Ion Rings for Magnetic Fusion [PDF]
, 2005 This Final Technical Report presents the results of the program, Ion Rings for Magnetic Fusion, which was carried out under Department of Energy funding during the period August, 1993 to January, 2005. The central objective of the program was to study the properties of field-reversed configurations formed by ion rings. In order to reach this objective,
