The effects of particle swarm optimization algorithm on volume ignition gain of Proton–Lithium (7) pellets

Abstract

When it was found out that the ignition of nuclear fusion hinges upon input energy laser, the efforts in order to make giant lasers began, and energy gains of DT fuel were obtained. But due to the neutrons generation and emitted radioactivity from DT reaction, gains of fuels like Proton–Lithium (7) were also adverted. Therefore, making larger and powerful lasers was followed. Here, using new versions of particle swarm optimization algorithm, it will be shown that available maximum gain of Proton–Lithium (7) is reached only at energies about 10¹⁴ J, and not only the highest input energy is not helpful but the efficiency is also decreased.
