Macroparticle accelerators and thermonuclear fusion

Abstract

Accelerating macroparticles to velocities in the range of 106 to 108 cm/s would lead to a large number of applications such as the simulation of meteors, the production of very dense plasmas and possibly the release of controlled thermonuclear energy. A review of the known methods of acceleration is presented as well as a study of their limitations, both with respect to velocity and size of the particles, and comparison is made with the trigger-criterion for very small thermonuclear explosions; none of those methods seems promising. A new method of acceleration is proposed.
