Development of the basic technologies for the ALIANCE project
Plenary Presentation
A properly shaped quadrupolar mirror magnetic field, in combination with a controllable weak radial electric field, is predicted to force each guiding center to move close to its mean magnetic surface. A neoclassical increase of radial transport would then be practically eliminated. The radial electric field may be controlled by biased end plates placed at the end tank outside the confinement...

To build-up and sustain a population of high energy ions of hydrogen isotopes in the GDT-based neutron sources, injection of a steady-state powerful focused neutral beams with energies up to 100 keV is required. Problems arising at update of the high power NBIs developed at the Budker Institute with a duration of up to 2 s to the stationary operation mode are discussed in the report.
All the...

Estimation shows that powerful Gas-Dynamic Trap operated for generating neutrons at continuous rate 1E18 1/s will release high particle flux (∼3E22 1/s of D/T mixture) out of confinement region. The vacuum vessel of the Gas-Dynamic Trap consists of central cylindrical confinement volume and two plasma expansion vessels. In order to sustain the adequate vacuum conditions in the expansion...

Gas-dynamic multi-mirror trap (GDMT) is an ongoing project in development at Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, which aims to demonstrate a leap in performance for linear axisymmetric magnetic plasma confinement systems and lay the groundwork for a full-scale development of fusion neutron sources (NS) based on gas-dynamic plasma confinement. As a multipurpose facility, GDMT is being designed...

The paper devoted to simulation of neutron source based on gas-dynamic trap concept. DOL code was used as a main tool for numerical calculations. Stability against Drift-Cyclotron Loss-Cone (DCLC) and Double Hump (DH) modes is estimated according to [I.A.Kotelnikov, I.S.Chernoshtanov, V.V.Prikhodko. Electrostatic instabilities in a mirror trap revisited. Physics of Plasmas v. 24, p. 122512 (2017)].
