Abstract

α-particles from fusion reactions in a DT magnetized plasma are confined inside the plasma not only by magnetic fields but also by induced electric fields which are due to the different mobilities of α-particles and electrons. Criteria are derived for the α-confinement in a cylindrical plasma, inertially confined by a heavy liner. It is observed that the suprathermal α population in the DT plasma will influence the overall dynamics.
