[SUPERSEDED] RF Alpha-Channeling as a Bounded Power Lever for a Deuterium-Helium-3 Mirror
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: This record has been superseded. The current, updated version is RF Alpha-Channeling in a D–³He Tandem-Mirror Burner: Raising the Recoverable Charged-Particle Fraction from 8% Toward 80% (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22645712). Please read and cite the current version. This page stays online so existing citations keep resolving. RF alpha-channeling as a bounded power lever for a deuterium-helium-3 mirror. A mode-converted channeling wave raises the recoverable charged fraction from a collisional baseline near 8 percent to about 80 percent in the worked embodiment, easing the recirculating-power burden that sets the burner's electric gain. Booked as a bounded lever, not a closure mechanism: the plug potential remains the honest gate. Model output, no antenna built.
