Z-pinch Driven Isentropic Compression for Inertial Fusion
The achievement of high gain with inertial fusion requires the compression of hydrogen isotopes to high density and temperatures. High densities can be achieved most efficiently by isentropic compression. This requires relatively slow pressure pulses on the order of 10-20 nanoseconds; however, the pressure profile must have the appropriate time history [J. Nuckolls et. al. Nature, 239, 139, 197...
متن کاملOptimum driving a Z-pinch for soft X-Ray lasers
A capillary plasma z-pinch as an alternative active medium of soft X-Ray lasers was studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis was based on the self consistent solution of the so called “snow plow” model. The dynamics of pinched plasma is determined by the capillary parameters and by the time dependence of electrical current passing through it. The current time dependenc...
متن کاملExplosive Z Pinch
We propose an explanation for the recently observed powerful contained explosion in a Z pinch experiment performed at Sandia National Laboratories. Our arguments are based on the assumption that a pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory of scale ∼ 0.5MeV is responsible for the emergence of the electron and its neutrino.
متن کاملConvective Cell Formation in a Z-Pinch
Closed field line confinement systems can develop convective cells when the MHD interchange stability criterion is violated. Using a previously derived set of reduced equations [ V.P. Pastukhov and N.V. Chudin, Plasma Physics Reports 27, 907 (2001)] it is shown that a true steady state solution can exist. For an assumed large-scale vortex pattern the plasma pressure profile that is implied by t...
متن کاملUWFDM-1313 Engineering Issues Facing Transmutation of Actinides in Z-Pinch Fusion Power Plant
The initiation of the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership includes nuclear-based transmutation devices to recycle the spent fuel. Fusion can offer an alternative to the use of fast reactors for the transmutation of actinides. At a modest fusion power of 20 MW, a Z-Pinch driven sub-critical blanket can burn actinides and produce power. Several engineering issues have been examined: the effect of t...
