Monte Carlo Method for calculating fusion product behavior in field-reversed mirrors

Creators

Description

A unique model of fusion product (fp) slowing down and thermalization in field-reversed mirror (FRM) plasmas has been developed. It couples the Hill's spherical vortex representation of a field-reversed equilibrium with a monte carlo treatment of coulomb scattering, and thus provides a complete picture of fps from birth through their thermal diffusion. The incorporation of drag and scattering effects allows the code to address both the energy deposition and the ash buildup question. Results of several test cases are presented along with selected results from FRM studies
