Possible nuclear fusion of deuteron in the cores of Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, and brown dwarfs

AIP Advances, 2020
Many brown dwarfs have recently been discovered as sub-stellar objects in which deuteron thermonuclear fusion is taking place. Although Jupiter and Saturn emit nearly twice as much heat as they absorb from the Sun, their internal heat-generation ...

A Physical Metric for Inertial Confinement Fusion Capsules

Plasma
The performance of fusion capsules on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) is strongly affected by the physical properties of the hot deuterium–tritium (DT) fuel, such as the mass, areal density, and pressure of the hot spot at the stagnation time.

Effect of the laser wavelength: A long story of laser-plasma interaction physics for Inertial Confinement Fusion Teller Medal Lecture

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Laser-driven Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) relies on the use of high-energy laser beams to compress and ignite a thermonuclear fuel with the ultimate goal of producing energy. Fusion is the holy grail of energy sources–combining abundant fuel with no

Efficacy of inertial confinement fusion experiments in light ion fusion cross section measurement at nucleosynthesis relevant energies

Frontiers in Physics, 2022
Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments create a unique laboratory environment in which thermonuclear fusion reactions occur within a plasma, with conditions comparable to stellar cores and the early universe.

Electron Screening Effect on Stellar Thermonuclear Fusion [PDF]

Contributions to Plasma Physics, 2013
AbstractWe study the impact of plasma correlation effects on nonresonant thermonuclear reactions for various stellar objects, namely in the liquid envelopes of neutron stars, and the interiors of white dwarfs, low‐mass stars, and substellar objects. We examine in particular the effect of electron screening on the enhancement of thermonuclear reactions ...

Fast and Invertible Simplicial Approximation of Magnetic‐Following Interpolation for Visualizing Fusion Plasma Simulation Data

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We introduce a fast and invertible approximation for fusion plasma simulation data represented as 2D planar meshes with connectivities approximating magnetic field lines along the toroidal dimension in deformed 3D toroidal spaces. Scientific variables (e.g., density and temperature) in these fusion data are interpolated following a complex ...

Solar Cycle Detected in Natural Tritium of Ice Layers Before the Nuclear Era

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 9, 16 May 2025.
Abstract The 11‐year cycle of the solar activity affects the production rate of cosmogenic isotopes. For tritium in precipitation, it has been just recently proven that this link exists. Here we show, for the first time, a tritium ice core time series which extends back to 1923, covering a time period that avoids the presence of artificial tritium from

Electron trajectories in a realistic gyrotron resonator

Mathematical Modelling and Analysis, 1998
Gyrotron is a special tube generating powerful radiowaves in the millimeter wave range. Gyrotrons are mainly used to heat nuclear fusion plasma, in order to induce controlled thermonuclear reactions on earth.

Analysis of Solar Radiation Shielding in Space for Climate Mitigations of the Earth

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 1653-1661, April 2025.
Space solar shielding over the Earth. ABSTRACT Solar radiation modification (SRM) through space solar shielding is a proposed strategy to mitigate global warming. This approach involves reflecting sunlight back into space while allowing Earth's infrared radiation to escape, thereby controlling climate change.
