Strong magnetic fields play an important role in high-energy-density plasma. Several
approaches have been investigated within a decade to access the strong magnetic field …

This paper provides an overview of the results presented at the 26th IAEA Fusion Energy
Conference in the field of inertial confinement fusion for energy, covering its various …

We investigate a new laser-driven spherically convergent plasma fusion scheme (SCPF)
that can produce thermonuclear neutrons stably and efficiently. In the SCPF scheme, laser …

We quantitatively design a hydrogen-producing copper–chlorine thermochemical cycle that
is thermally combinable with nuclear fusion reactors. The mass and heat balances …

Abstract A Monte Carlo (MC) code simulating the kinetics of two-particle collisions has
shown to have certain advantages in the spectral analysis of neutrons from fast-ignition …

The injection and engagement of pellets using laser beam irradiation is one of the key
technologies to realize a laser-driven inertial fusion energy (IFE) reactor. We irradiated ultra …

Thermal fusion plasmas initiated by standing whistler waves are investigated numerically by
two-and one-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. When a standing whistler wave …

The plasmonic enhancement of electromagnetic field energy density around planar surfaces
of hydrogen-absorbing transition metals, Pd, Ti, and Ni, has been quantitatively investigated …

Fast heating is a method of heating an assembled high-density plasma into a hot state by
irradiating it with short-duration (sub-picosecond), high-intensity ($> $ $10^{18} $ W ${\rm …

Briefs will be published as part of Springer's eBook collection, with millions of users
worldwide. In addition, Briefs will be available for individual print and electronic purchase …
