This hybrid of thermonuclear fusion and beam-plasma fusion offers surprisingly large advantages to either purely thermonuclear or purely beam-plasma fusion, neither of which can by themselves significantly exceed the large bremsstrahlung radiation emitted by the proton{\textendash}Boron11 plasma. The hybrid scheme has the potential to reduce the confinement time of the reactants that is required to achieve ignition by an order of magnitude.}, year = {2022}, journal = {Physics of Plasmas}, volume = {29}, number = {11}, pages = {110701}, month = {nov}, issn = {1070-664X, 1089-7674}, doi = {10.1063/5.0119434}, }
