Ignition condition for degenerate plasma in magneto-inertial fusion

The present paper investigated the effect of radiation loss on the ignition temperature for the fuel pellet $(D/T_x{/}^{3}H{e}_y)$simulated in a degenerate plasma. The behavior of these plasmas was predicted by the energy equations that were different from the classical ones, and this was the main factor in decreasing the ignition temperature of the plasma. Therefore, the required ignition condition for fusion was described. For this condition, a hybrid of elements from the traditional Magnetic and Inertial Fusion concepts together with degenerated plasma were considered. Results suggested that a high-density low-temperature plasma can be obtained during the compression phase in an inertial confinement fusion system. Also, the plasma electrons can degenerate using the fast ignition approach when the plasma is of high density and low temperature.
