UWFDM-1202 Embedded D-3He Fusion Reactions and Medical Isotope Production in an Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Device

The high-energy 14.7 MeV protons generated from the D-3 He fusion reaction can be used to produce medical radioisotopes. Steady-state D-3 He operation is possible using Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC); however, the location of the reactions must be known to use them effectively for isotope production. In the University of Wisconsin IEC device, it has been found that as much as 2/3 of t...

Inverse Braking Radiation and Resonance Absorption in Corona Plasmas of Inertial Confinement Fusion

Abstract: In this paper, combining the Maxwell equations with the electron balanceequation, we obtain the inverse braking radiation absorption coefficient in a laser fusioncorona plasma. For a fixed plasma temperature, variations of the absorption coefficientversus the penetration depth into the plasma are illustrated numerically for differentvalues of laser wavelength. ...
