PARAMETERS OF A FUSION NEUTRON SOURCE BASED ON THE RECENT GDT EXPERIMENTAL DATA AND POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS

摘要

Substantial progress in experimental results was demonstrated over the last three years at the GDT facility (a hydrogen prototype of a fusion neutron source) in the Budker Institute: the electron temperature has been increased up to 0.6 keV, and the relative plasma pressure beta has exceeded 0.5 in a quasi-stationary regime. These parameters are records for axisymmetric open mirror traps.
