Title: Collisional pumping for the production of intense spin-polarized neutral beams: target considerations. Revision

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5507170

Polarized beams at intensity levels heretofore not considered feasible have recently been proposed for heating and fueling fusion plasmas. Polarized-beam fueling could increase fusion rates by 50% as well as allow control of the directionality of the fusion products. A process which we have recently described, and called collisional pumping, promises to produce beams of polarized ions vastly more intense than producible by current methods.
