Computer Simulation Experiments on Electrostatic-Inertial Confinement.
Abstract
The inertial confinement scheme is a proposed method of containing a hot, dense fusion plasma by purely electrostatic means, that is to say, without the use of externally applied rf fields or dc magnetic fields. The fusion gases are confined by the inertia of high energy beams of particles focused at the plasma from all sides. Although, as now conceived, the scheme involves the high energy injection of ions, it was originally thought of as a device i which electrons were injected with high energy. (Author)
