Using a combination of laser-plasma interactions and magnetic confinement configurations, a conceptual fusion reactor is proposed in this paper. Our reactor consists of the following: 1) A background plasma of boron11 and hydrogen ions, plus electrons, is generated and kept for a certain time, with densities of the order of a milligram/cm3and temperatures of tens of eV. Both the radiation level and the plasma thermal pressure are thus very low. 2) A plasma channel is induced in a solid target by irradiation with a high power laser that creates a very intense shock wave. This mechanism conveys the acceleration of protons in the laser direction. The mechanisms must be tuned for the protons to reach a kinetic energy of 600 keV (note that this value is not a temperature). 3) Those ultra-fast protons enter the background plasma and collide with a boron11 to produce 3 alphas of 2.9 MeV. 4) Fusion born alphas collide with protons of the plasma and accelerate them up to 600 keV causing a chain reaction. 5) A combination of an induction current and a magnetic bottle keeps the chain reaction process going on, for a pulse long enough to get a high energy gain. 6) Materials for the background plasma and the laser target must be replaced for starting a new chain reaction cycle.

一种新型的质子-硼链反应聚变反应堆11

使用激光等离子体相互作用和磁约束配置的组合，本文提出了一个概念聚变反应堆。我们的反应器由以下部分组成： 1) 产生并保持一定时间的硼 11 和氢离子以及电子的背景等离子体，密度为毫克/立方厘米，温度为数十电子伏特。因此，辐射水平和等离子体热压都非常低。2) 通过高功率激光照射在固体目标中产生等离子体通道，产生非常强烈的冲击波。这种机制在激光方向上传递质子的加速度。必须调整机制以使质子达到 600 keV 的动能（请注意，该值不是温度）。3) 那些超快质子进入背景等离子体并与硼碰撞产生 3 个 2.9 MeV 的 alpha。4) 聚变产生的 alpha 与等离子体的质子碰撞，并将它们加速到 600 keV，引起连锁反应。5）感应电流和磁瓶的组合使链式反应过程持续进行，脉冲足够长以获得高能量增益。6) 必须更换背景等离子体和激光靶材的材料才能开始新的链式反应循环。
