Requirements for Fusion

High Temperatures

Adequate Densities

Adequate Confinement

Lawson Criterion: n >

1020 s/m3

Two Approaches

Inertial Confinement: n 1030 / m3

10-10 s

Magnetic Confinement: n 1020 / m3

1 s

Magnetic Confinement

Magnetic Field Limit: B < 5 T Pressure Balance: nkT 0.1B2/20

==> n 1020 / m3 @ T = 108 K Atmospheric density is 2 x 1025 / m3

Good vacuum is required Pressure: nkT 1 atmosphere Confinement: 1 s A 10 keV electron travels 30,000

miles in 1 s
