Reactor for boron fusion with picosecond ultrahigh power laser pulses and ultrahigh magnetic field trapping

Compared with the deuterium tritium (DT) fusion, the environmentally clean fusion of protons with ¹¹B is extremely difficult. When instead of nanosecond laser pulses for thermal-ablating driven ignition, picosecond pulses are used, a drastic change by nonlinearity results in ultrahigh acceleration of plasma blocks. This radically changes to economic boron fusion by a measured new avalanche ignition. (paper)
