Review of Grischuk and Sachin Gravitational Wave Generator via Tokamak Physics

摘要

Using Grischuk and Sachin (1975) amplitude for the GW generation due to plasma in a toroid, we generalize this result for Tokamak physics. We obtain evidence for strain values up to h_(2nd-term) ～ 10~(-23) -10~(-24) in a Tokamak center, with a minimum value of h ～ 10~(-26) five meters above the Tokamak center. These values are an order of magnitude sufficient to allow for possible detection of gravitational waves. The critical breakthrough is in utilizing a burning plasma drift current, which relies upon a thermal contribution to an electric field. The gravitational wave amplitude would be detectable in part also due to n_(ion) · τ_E >.5×10~(20) · m~(-3) · sec, where the n_(ion) is the numerical ion density, usually about 10~(20) · m~(-3), i.e. about one out of a million of the present atmospheric pressure, whereas τ_E is a confinement time value for Tokamak plasma, here at least .5 seconds. This value, as given above and by Wesson (2011), is the threshold for plasma fusion burning; the temperature obtained is the main driver for how one could conceivably detect GW of amplitude as low as [h_(2nd-term)|T_(Temp)≥100KeV]_(5-meters-above-Tokamak) ～10~(-25) five meters above the Tokamak center.
