Role of deuteron beam Incidence on the neutron-free fuel pellet using helium catalyzed process in enhancing energy gain

Fast ignition is recognized as a potential method to achieve the high energy-gain target performance required for commercial inertial confinement fusion. In this article, the deuteron beam driven causes fast ignition, which provides not only the ignition spark of the "hot spot" but also the "bonus" fusion energy through reactions within the target. We have estimated the energy deposited contribution as a bonus resulting from the fusion reactions that occurred based on calculations using a modified energy enhancement factor. To achieve this goal in the ICF plan, the use of pure fuel is impractical due to the excessive need for energy driven. Therefore, a small amount of D-T fuel is necessary as a "igniter".Since the reaction does not produce any neutrons and fuel sources for the D-D reaction are abundant, it is expected that these reactions can be used in advanced fuel fusion reactors. The main interest in the helium-catalyzed process, in which T and produced by fusion are recycled, is mainly due to the fact that deuterium fuel has essentially unlimited resources on Earth. In the calculation method of this article, without using helium catalyzed process, the fusion gain gradually increases with increasing temperature and reaches a maximum value of about 20 at a temperature of 190 keV, while using helium catalyzed process, it gradually increases with increasing temperature and reaches a maximum value of about 110 at the same temperature

Abstract

Fast ignition is recognized as a potential method to achieve the high energy-gain target performance required for commercial inertial confinement fusion. In this article, the deuteron beam driven causes fast ignition, which provides not only the ignition spark of the "hot spot" but also the "bonus" fusion energy through reactions within the target. We have estimated the energy deposited contribution as a bonus resulting from the fusion reactions that occurred based on calculations using a modified energy enhancement factor. To achieve this goal in the ICF plan, the use of pure fuel is impractical due to the excessive need for energy driven. Therefore, a small amount of D-T fuel is necessary as a "igniter".Since the reaction does not produce any neutrons and fuel sources for the D-D reaction are abundant, it is expected that these reactions can be used in advanced fuel fusion reactors. The main interest in the helium-catalyzed process, in which T and produced by fusion are recycled, is mainly due to the fact that deuterium fuel has essentially unlimited resources on Earth. In the calculation method of this article, without using helium catalyzed process, the fusion gain gradually increases with increasing temperature and reaches a maximum value of about 20 at a temperature of 190 keV, while using helium catalyzed process, it gradually increases with increasing temperature and reaches a maximum value of about 110 at the same temperature
