ABSTRACT

There will be the possibility of producing Pion particles in the collision of relativistic electrons and fuel pellet ions in the fast ignition. The produced Pions, in collisions with nuclei of hydrogen atoms (ions of D/T plasma) get slow, will eventually lead to the production of Pion atoms. The produced Pion atoms, in a very short time, will create Pion molecules. During this process, because of reduction in the Coulomb repulsion between the nuclei of fuel by Pion, the possibility of nuclear fusion between isotopes D/T will be provided. Dynamical equations governing the particle density of the cycle have been resolved in optimal concentration by Monte Carlo method and LSOD code. The obtained results show that although the relative density of Pion, reaches its minimum amount after a limited time about 40 ns, but the fusion process of πdt Pion molecules will occur within 10 ns. According to the short life time of Pion particles, it is observed that the number of cycles which Pion catalyzes in its life time is not enough to produce the optimization energy.
