LPP presents at ICOPS
(2) CommentsLawrenceville Plasma Physics recently presented the results of their latest dense plasma focus experiments at the International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS).
The results include ion temperatures of 20-70 keV, record high fusion yield for a given current, and good agreement of the experiments with theory.
The theoretical model predicts that, in the ran

For a more in depth discussion, start a thread in the forums.What is the significance of n^2; does that reflect the probability of collision/fusion events per unit volume?
Yes, exactly. A simplified, but qualitatively correct way to look at it is that each particle in the volume has n other particles to collide with so one particle’s chance of collision is proportional to n, and you have n particles each with a collision probability proportional to n so the overall frequency of collisions is proportional to n squared.
