Abstract Laser Inertial Fusion Energy reactor requires repetitive fuel pellet injection and laser engagement to fuse fusion fuel beyond a few Hz. We demonstrate 10 Hz free-fall bead pellets injection and laser engagement with γ-ray generation. Diameter of 1 mm deuterated polystyrene beads were engaged by counter illuminating ultra-intense laser pulses with intensity of 5 x1017 W/cm2 at 10 Hz. The spatial distribution of free-fall beads was 0.86 mm in horizontal, and 0.18 mm in vertical. The system operated beyond 5 minute, 3500 beads supply with achieved frequencies of 2.1 Hz for illumination on bead and 0.7 Hz for γ-ray generation, these frequencies increments three times in relation to the previous 1 Hz injection system. The operation duration was limited by pellet supply. This injection and engagement system can apply for Laser Inertial Fusion Energy research platform.

Edward Teller Lectures—Lasers and Inertial Fusion Energy, Heinrich Hora and George H. Miley, eds. Foreword by E.M. Campbell. First edition. Imperial College Press, London, 365 pp. US $63.00 ISBN: 1-86094-468-XSince 1991, the Edward Teller Medal is awarded to individual researchers in recognition of their respective pioneering experimental or theoretical work in the field of intense laser and particle beam physics, and physics application of high power drivers, which is exactly the field that the journalLaser and Particle Beamscovers in great detail. Motivation of this research field is the investigation of properties of high energy density matter with the ultimate goal to achieve inertial fusion in the laboratory under reproducible conditions, and to develop a scientific basis for inertial fusion energy.

New Formula

The application of selective resonant tunneling model is extended from d + t fusion to other light nucleus fusion reactions, such as d + d fusion and d + 3He. In contrast to traditional formulas, the new formula for the cross-section needs only a few parameters to fit the experimental data in the energy range of interest. The features of the astrophysical S-function are derived in terms of this model. The physics of resonant tunneling is discussed.
