Oscillating Plasmas for Proton- Boron Fusion in Miniature Vacuum Discharge
Figure 5
Energy distribution functions in NVD for (a) protons and (b) boron ions with charge ZB = +3 for Uexp ≈ 100 kV with a front ∆tf ≈ 2 ns. The potential along the radius is shown at the inset in Figure 5(a) for t = 10 ns (it is cross section at Z = 2.5 cm for the PW presented in Figure 2(a)). The output of secondary α particles from pB reaction on time for U = 100 kV and ∆tf = 1 ns (see Figure 4(b) also) is shown at the inset in Figure 5(b).
