Towards non-thermal hydrogen-boron fusion

激光诱导的氢和硼的非热聚变11是实现实际可持续能源生产的一种有前途的方法。此外，由于是非中子的，这种特殊的聚变反应实际上避免了与高能中子辐射相关的有害环境影响。最近在非热条件下对该反应的观察不仅令人兴奋，而且要求更好地了解其动力学。因此，该行业支持的建议旨在建立一个实验证明的分析框架，支撑可行的氢硼聚变反应堆的未来发展。从长远来看，它的成功实施将带来翻天覆地的变化，提供几乎无限的能源。

Laser-induced non-thermal fusion of hydrogen and boron 11 is a promising approach to reach practical sustainable energy generation. In addition, being aneutronic, this specific fusion reaction virtually avoids the deleterious environmental impact associated with high energy neutron radiation. The recent observation of this reaction under non-thermal conditions is not only exciting but begs for a better understanding of its dynamics. This industry supported proposal thus aims at establishing an experimentally-proven analysis framework underpinning the future development of a viable hydrogen-boron fusion reactor. In the long term, its successful implementation would constitute a sea change by providing a virtually limitless source of energy.
