Abstract

Review and systematization of our investigations in thermonuclear (TN) plasma particle diagnostic methods are presented. The proposed diagnostic schemes are based on direct numerical simulations of nuclear reaction products kinetics in a dense hot plasma with the following interpretation of the results by means of analytical scaling relations for charged particles energy loss in plasma with arbitrary degeneration of electron gas. The simulations of the kinetic equations system solution for TN particles is carried out by TERAcode based on Monte–Carlo method. The diagnostic schemes are presented in the form of families of isoline curves at the (ρR, T)-plane which are related to the constant values of measured spectrum characteristics. The searching plasma parameters ρR and temperature T are determined by points of interceptions of curves related to the distinct characteristics. The ranges of applicability of different methods of particle diagnostics are investigated in detail.
