In-Target Proton–Boron Nuclear Fusion Using a PW-Class Laser

In-Target Proton–Boron Nuclear Fusion Using a PW-Class Laser

Nuclear reactions between protons and boron-11 nuclei (p–B fusion) that were used to yield energetic α-particles were initiated in a plasma that was generated by the interaction between a PW-class laser operating at relativistic intensities (~3 × 10<sup>19</sup> W/cm<sup>2</sup&...
