Computable Rationality, NUTS, and the Nuclear Leviathan [PDF]
This paper explores how the Leviathan that projects power through nuclear arms exercises a unique nuclearized sovereignty. In the case of nuclear superpowers, this sovereignty extends to wielding the power to destroy human civilization as we know it ...

Mitigation of divertor edge localised mode power loading by impurity seeding
One of the major challenges for the design of future thermonuclear reactors is the problem of power exhaust—the removal of heat fluxes deposited by plasma particles onto the plasma-facing components (PFCs) of the reactor wall. In order for the reactor to

Update on the Scientific Status of the Plasma Focus
This paper is a sequel to the 1998 review paper “Scientific status of the Dense Plasma Focus” with 16 authors belonging to 16 nations, whose initiative led to the establishment of the International Center for Dense Magnetized Plasmas (ICDMP) in the year ...

Volkov solution for two laser beams and ITER [PDF]
We find the solution of the Dirac equation for two plane waves (laser beams) and we determine the modified Compton formula for the scattering of two photons on an alectron.

Relativistic electron pinch thermonuclear device [PDF]
A novel plasma pinch device that produces a relatively large nanosecond burst of neutrons and fully stripped ions is being developed at the University of California (Livermore and Berkeley). The electrical efficiency for the burst is in the percent range, and there is evidence that nuclear burn is occurring in the pinch.

Tuning of the current drive in tokamaks with phase-shifted beating waves [PDF]
Recent advancements in tokamak devices have allowed for reaching very high plasma temperatures, giving hope for the production of thermonuclear fusion power.
