Z-Pinch Power Plant Design and IFE Materials Program on Z and RHEPP at SNL
There are presently four driver technologies that are being developed for IFE Power Plants: these are HIF (Heavy Ion Fusion), KrF (Krypton Fluoride laser), DPSSL (Diode-Pumped Solid-State Laser), and Z-Pinches. All four types were included in the discussions at the Snowmass Fusion Summer Study in 1999 [1]. The purpose of this paper is to discuss (1) the z-pinch power plant concept, and (2) the ...
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 کاملHigh-Yield Z-Pinch Thermonuclear Neutron Source
Introduction: Neutron beams are useful for many applications, from noninvasive imaging and characterization of materials to producing medical isotopes and detecting hidden explosive devices. Some applications require high-energy neutrons created in fusion nuclear reactions between deuterium (D) and tritium (T). To achieve thermal fusion, deuterium or DT plasma must be heated to about 10 8 K, wh...
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...
