Nuclear fusion technologies have re-gained momentum in the last decade thanks to their disruptive potential different fields, such as energy production and space propulsion, new technological developments, especially high temperature superconductor tapes, which allow overcoming previous performance or design limits. To date, reviews of recent nuclear designs are lacking. Therefore, this paper a...

We give a new fusion procedure for the Brauer algebra by showing that all primitive idempotents can be found by evaluating a rational function in several variables which has the form of a product of R-matrix type factors. In particular, this provides a new fusion procedure for the symmetric group involving an arbitrary parameter. The R-matrices are solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation associat...
