The Physics of Inertial Fusion
Clarendon Press 2004; US$ 84.99This book is on inertial confinement fusion, an alternative way to produce electrical power from hydrogen fuel by using powerful lasers or particle beams. Two huge laser facilities are presently under construction to show that this method works. It involves the compression of tiny amounts (micrograms) of fuel to thousand times solid density and pressures... more...
Plasma Physics and Fusion Energy
Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 72.00Graduate textbook on plasma physics for courses in applied physics and nuclear engineering. more...
Edward Teller Lectures
World Scientific Publishing Company 2005; US$ 95.00How to achieve unlimited, safe, clean and low-cost energy by laser- or beam-driven inertial nuclear fusion has preoccupied all winners of the Edward Teller Medal since its inception in 1991. This book presents their findings, meeting discussions, and personal insights from Edward Teller himself. Expect discussion of important advances anticipated in... more...
Frontiers in Fusion Research
Springer 2011; US$ 139.99Frontiers in Fusion Research provides a systematic overview of the latest physical principles of fusion and plasma confinement. It is primarily devoted to the principle of magnetic plasma confinement, that has been systematized through 50 years of fusion research. Frontiers in Fusion Research begins with an introduction to the study of plasma, discussing... more...
The Science of the Cold Fusion Phenomenon
Elsevier Science 2006; US$ 215.00Broken up in to three sections, this book gives a unified explanation of all the significant data on the Cold Fusion Phenomena to date. It presents a history of the Cold Fusion Phenomenon (CFP), gives the fundamental experimental results of the CFP and presents a quantum mechanical treatment of physical problems associated with cold fusion. * Overviews... more...
Plasma-Material Interaction in Controlled Fusion
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 149.99Deals with the specific contact between the fourth state of matter, that is, plasma, and the first state of matter, that is, a solid wall, in controlled fusion experiments. This work also includes a comprehensive analysis of the main processes of plasma-surface interaction together with an assessment of the critical questions. more...
An Introduction to Inertial Confinement Fusion
CRC Press 2006; US$ 165.95Newcomers to the field of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) often have difficulty establishing a clear picture of the overall field. The reason for this is because, while there are many books devoted to special topics within the field, there is none that provides an overview of the field as a whole. An Introduction to Inertial Confinement Fusion fills... more...
Fun in Fusion Research
Elsevier Science 2013; US$ 69.95This book discusses the fun side of the quest to develop fusion energy-a modern equivalent of the hunt for the Holy Grail. After more than 70 years of research, despite great progress, the goal has not been realized. Do you have to be crazy to love quests like this? Not really, but you do have to have an unshakeable optimism. Through humorous anecdotes,... more...
Investigations of Field Dynamics in Laser Plasmas with Proton Imaging
Springer 2011; US$ 99.99Laser-driven proton beams are still in their infancy but already have some outstanding attributes compared to those produced in conventional accelerators. One such attribute is the typically low beam emittance. This allows excellent resolution in imaging applications like proton radiography. This thesis describes a novel imaging technique - the proton... more...
The Science of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction
World Scientific Publishing Company 2007; US$ 124.00One of the most important discoveries of this century — cold fusion — was summarily rejected by science and the media before sufficient evidence had been accumulated to make a rational judgment possible. Enough evidence is now available to show that this rejection was wrong and that the discovery of a new source of clean energy may help... more...
