An Investigation of Bremsstrahlung Reflection in a Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) Propulsion Device
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dense plasma focus device is one of the few fusion systems that is capable of burning advanced fuels such as D – He and p – B. An study has been performed and shown that three main requirements must be satisfied to reach breakeven for DPF fusion: a high Ti/Te ration (~ 20), an order of magnitude higher pinch lifetime, and the reflection and absorption if at least 50% Bremsstrahlung radiation. The latter issue is the focus of this report, and a literature search has been performed on laser-driven fusion radiation cavities, multilayer reflectors, and their application to Bremsstrahlung radiation reflection is presented. Additionally, the results found are compared to those assumed in the earlier DPF study bring p-B.

Advancements in Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) for Space Propulsion
The development of a dense plasma focus (DPF) propulsion device using p-B is described. A propulsion system of this type is attractive because of its high thrust-to-weight ratio capabilities at high specific impulses. From a fuel standpoint, p-B is advantageous because of the aneutronic nature of the reaction, which is favorable for the production of thrust since the charged particles can be ch...
