Heating effect of T³He fusion plasma by injecting beam of deuteron

It is shown that, when a high-power deuteron (D)-beam is injected into tritium–helium-3 (T³He) plasma, an additional power is produced into the target that increases the power gain due to added fusion reactions of D with T and ³He ions in the fast ignition scheme. The energy loss rate through both Coulomb and nuclear interactions (NI) of beam is very important in the T³He plasma. The results show that at the low electron temperature ( \(T_{e}\) $T_e$ ) the deposited power quickly decreases and at a high \(T_{e}\) $T_e$ , Coulomb energy losses are more than NI. It is resulted that the D injected effect plays a significant role on improving fusion power gain in the T³He plasma. An added fusion power gain can be increased by raising \(T_{e}\) $T_e$ . To achieve appreciable power gain value, \(T_{e}\) $T_e$ must be in the keV range. It is shown that despite a plasma of cold tritium and helium ions, the situation for net power generation is suitable. Finally, several important approaches are presented to increase the extra fusion power gain.
