Abstract

A scheme for the generation of thermonuclear neutrons in a pulsed trap with magnetoinertial plasma confinement is proposed. Neutrons are primarily produced in the center of the trap in the hottest zone of the plasma. This zone is formed in the area of intersection of two opposite axial flows of deuterons and a heavy hydrogen jet injected perpendicular to the axis of the trap. The evaluation shows that the thermonuclear process of neutron generation prevails over direct interactions of the “beam-beam” and “beam-plasma” type.
