Electron and ion temperatures in FRC plasma with p-11B or D-D fusion

[TESL@]

Hello,

I need to know the average temperatures of electrons and ions in a field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma, particularly p-11B or D-D. However I couldn't find anything on the internet. I appreciate any piece of information.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I think that the goal is to get up to 10 keV in an FRC system. There is one example in the following document of 2 keV for ions, and 0.5 keV for electrons.

Other sources are shooting for a temperature of 5 keV, which is rather modest.

D-D would certainly be easier the p-¹¹B, in which the B ions would have a lower temperature than the p or e. B would represent a significant penalty due to Z = 5.
