Sources

Every number on these pages traces to one of the documents below, either as a value the document prints or as a value the family's repository declares in its place and says so.

IEC and polywell

Wulfkühler et al., Scientific Reports (2024), open access

Eq. 1 pass-count bound; eq. 5 bridge half-angle and Table 2 (1/50 → 1.146°, 1/100 → 0.573°, 1/150 → 0.382°, 0.8/200 → 0.229°); eq. 12 globe aperture count and Figure 11 (4 × 5 → 50); the 8-to-220 globe family; Table 3 symmetric grids (3/8/90°, 6/24/60°, 9/48/45°, 15/120/36°); the transparency definitions; the review of experimental grids naming Fancher's 9 × 32 cathode of 640 apertures.

R. F. Radel, UWFDM-1325 (University of Wisconsin–Madison, 2007)

Section 4.1: the cylindrical aluminium chamber 0.91 m diameter × 0.65 m; section 4.1.2: cathode 20 cm, 0.75 mm wire, anode 40 cm, nine-ring symmetric cathode. Radel prints no transparency; 0.95 is a synthetic declaration.

R. L. Hirsch, J. Appl. Phys. 38 (1967)

The repository's cited origin of the device; not the source of the level-0 geometry.

Beam target

NRL Plasma Formulary (2019), p. 44

The Duane fit and its coefficients for D–D (both branches), D–T, D–³He, T–T, T–³He; \(m_e/m_D = 2.72\times10^{-4} = 1/3670\), \(m_e/m_T = 1.82\times10^{-4} = 1/5496\), the printed roots 1/60.6 and 1/74.1; the ten Maxwellian D–T reaction rates from 1 to 1000 keV.

H.-S. Bosch, G. M. Hale, Nucl. Fusion 32 (1992); T. P. Wangler, RF Linear Accelerators

Cited for the cross section; both paywalled, neither on file, nothing read from them.

Fusion–fission hybrid

M. J. Saltmarsh, W. R. Grimes, R. T. Santoro, ORNL/PPA-79/3 (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, 1979)

Eqs. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 figures of merit; eq. 17 (1.33) and eq. 19 (\(R_o = 68\)); page 26 (\(Q' \approx 1.4\), \(\eta_H = 0.35\)); Table 1, page 9 (uranium and thorium blankets fresh and exposed: \(F\) 1.53/1.45/0.62/0.52, \(M\) 8.5/17.0/2.13/4.59); Table 2, page 10 (plutonium-burning LWR \(C = 0.6\), \(\alpha = 0.3\); uranium-233 HTGR \(C = 0.85\), \(\alpha = 0.1\)); page 10's three noteworthy points. A scan whose OCR text layer mangles digits; every value read off the rendered page.

Governing documents of the group

SCPN Reactor Family Repository Standard; family repository map; each core's VALIDATION.md and ADR 0005

Boundary, configuration ownership (gridded_iec, polywell, beam_target, colliding_beam, fusion_fission_hybrid), the polywell's assignment to the electrostatic owner, evidence maturity, and the evidence records the pages restate.
