Abstract :

This study intends to Investigate the combustion energy of the reaction of helium ions using the acceleration of plasma blocks.Helium-3 (He3) fusion may also be possible to ignite side-on utilizing petawatt-picosecond laser pulses for uncompressed proton-Boron (HB11) fusion. Interestingly, for the same energy production, HB11 fusion releases a lot less radiation than coal-fired power stations. This method depends on the Chu-Bobin side-on ignition technique, which reduces pre-pulses in order to prevent a phenomenon known as relativistic self-focusing. Theoretical predictions of highly directed plasma blocks with moderate temperatures and extraordinarily high ion current densities exceeding 1011 Amps/cm² were confirmed by experiments. The acceleration was caused by a nonlinear force. These results of this study open the door to solid-density fusion's Chu-Bobin side-on ignition. Lastly, a detailed comparison of side-on ignition and standard spherical laser compression is shown to emphasize the essential distinctions in the ignition process. Finally, the results and implications were discussed, and suggestions for future research were made.
