On one of possibilities of high-temperature fusion plasma production

A method of high-temperature fusion plasma production using colliding intense bunches of deuteron (or tritium) clusters inside rectilinear space of one of the known systems of plasma magnetic confinement (tokamak, stellarator, magnetic mirror) is suggested. A great number (103-104) of deuterium atoms per charge unit in clusters permits to bring the mass of accelerated substance in the cluster bunches to the values at which mutual slow-down of all deuterons, in the clusters, becomes possible. In this case all longitudinal kinetic energy of cluster bunches transforms into the energy of chaotic thermal motion of deuterium (tritium) nuclei in plasma formed inside the trap during cluster bunch collisions. The flowsheet of the installation, which can realize the suggested method of fusion plasma production, is presented. Colliding cluster bunches are formed in two storage rings, to which accelerated clusters are injected. Positivey charged cluster ions of hydrogen heavy isotopes D(2n+1)+ (or T(2n+1)+) are formed in cluster sources, then they pass to the accelrator inlet
