Mystery of supra-thermal ions in fusion plasmas solved by advanced collision models

Sydney, Australia (SPX) Jan 01, 2025
The pursuit of nuclear fusion as a clean and abundant energy source has made significant strides with the advent of inertial confinement fusion (ICF). This technology relies on compressing deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel to extreme temperatures and pressures to initiate fusion. While neutrons generated in this process primarily contribute to electricity production, alpha particles remain in the fuel
