The National Ignition Facility successfully achieved target gain 2.4 thus marginally entering into burn stage.Meanwhile, a recent conceptual design on 10 MJ laser driver [Matter Radiat. Extremes 9, 043002 (2024)] provides a new room for exploring novel target designs and interesting phenomena in a burning plasma after ignition. In this paper, we propose an amplifier scheme with extended burn stage, which includes secondary implosion, generates extremely hot and dense fusion fireball, and produces additional gain. The amplifier scheme can be realized either by direct-drive or by indirect-drive. Here, we present a direct-drive amplifier design. The amplifier scheme can be realized at a low convergence ratio, so it can greatly relax the \r{ho} RT hot spot condition and the stringent requirements on engineering issues by a high gain fusion. Especially, the fireball lasts for 30 ps, reaching 330 g/cc, 350 keV, 54 Tbar at center when the secondary explosion happens, which leaves an important room for novel target designs towards clean fusion energy., Comment: 10 pages, 11 figures

Burn efficiency is a key for commercial feasibility of fusion power station for inertial fusion energy, while burn efficiency is usually lower than 30% in the central ignition scheme of inertial confinement fusion (ICF). A recent conceptual design for a 10 MJ laser driver [Z. Sui and K. Lan et al., Matter Radiat. Extremes 9, 043002 (2024)] provides a new room for target design to achieve a higher burn efficiency. Here, we take the advantage of fuel density in reaction rate and propose a novel amplifier scheme for increasing burn efficiency via two cascading explosions by ICF. The amplifier scheme can be realized either by indirect-drive or by direct-drive. Here, we give a 1D design for an indirect-driven amplifier capsule containing 2.02 mg DT fuel under a 300 eV radiation generated by a 10 MJ and 1785 TW laser inside an octahedral spherical hohlraum. As a result, the amplifier capsule has a burn efficiency of 48% and a gain of 33 at a convergence ratio of 24. This novel scheme can achieve a relatively high burn efficiency at a relatively low convergence ratio, which can greatly relax the stringent requirements of high gain fusion on hot spot ignition conditions and engineering issues., Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures

This paper is devoted to studying the maximal-in-time estimates and Strichartz estimates for orthonormal functions and convergence problem of density functions related to Boussinesq operator on manifolds. Firstly, we present the pointwise convergence of density function related to Boussinesq operator with $\gamma_{0}\in\mathfrak{S}^{\beta}(\dot{H}^{\frac{1}{4}}(\mathbf{R}))(\beta<2)$ with the aid of the maximal-in-time estimate related to Boussinesq operator with orthonormal function on $\R$. Secondly, we present the pointwise convergence of density function related to Boussinesq operator with $\gamma_{0}\in\mathfrak{S}^{\beta}(\dot{H}^{s})(\frac{d}{4}\leq s<\frac{d}{2},\, 0<\alpha\leq d, 1\leq\beta<\frac{\alpha}{d-2s})$ with the aid of the maximal-in-time estimates related to Boussinesq operator with orthonormal function on the unit ball $\mathbf{B}^{d}(d\geq1)$ established in this paper; we also present the Hausdorff dimension of the divergence set of density function related to Boussinesq operator $dim_{H}D(\gamma_{0})\leq (d-2s)\beta$. Thirdly, we show the Strichartz estimates for orthonormal functions and Schatten bound with space-time norms related to Boussinesq operator on $\mathbf{T}$ with the aid of the noncommutative-commutative interpolation theorems established in this paper, which are just Lemmas 3.1-3.4 in this paper; we also prove that Theorems 1.5, 1.6 are optimal. Finally, by using full randomization, we present the probabilistic convergence of density function related to Boussinesq operator on $\R$, $\mathbf{T}$ and $\Theta=\{x\in\R^{3}:|x|<1\}$ with $\gamma_{0}\in\mathfrak{S}^{2}$., Comment: Page 70

We consider the Cauchy problem ($\mathbb{R}^d, d=2,3$) and the initial boundary values problem ($\mathbb{T}^d, d=2,3$)associated to the compressible Oldroyd-B model which is first derived by Barrett, Lu and S\"{u}li [Existence of large-data finite-energy global weak solutions to a compressible Oldroyd-B model, Commun. Math. Sci., 15 (2017), 1265--1323] through micro-macro-analysis of the compressible Navier-Stokes-Fokker-Planck system.Due to lack of stress diffusion, the problems considered here are very difficult. Exploiting tools from harmonic analysis,notably the Littlewood Paley theory,we first establish the global well-posedness and time-decay rates for solutions of the model with small initial data in Besov spaces with critical regularity.Then, through deeply exploring and fully utilizing the structure of the perturbation system,we obtain the global well-posedness and exponential decay rates for solutions of the model with small initial data in the Soboles spaces $H^3(\mathbb{T}^d)$.Our obtained results improve considerably the recent results by Lu, Pokorn\'{y} [Anal. Theory Appl., 36 (2020), 348--372],Wang, Wen [Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci., 30 (2020), 139--179],and Liu, Lu, Wen [SIAM J. Math. Anal., 53 (2021), 6216--6242]., Comment: 51pages

In this paper, we are concerned with the initial boundary values problem associated to the compressible viscous non-resistive and heat-conducting magnetohydrodynamic flow, where the magnetic field is vertical. More precisely, by exploiting the intrinsic structure of the system and introducing several new unknown quantities, we overcome the difficulty stemming from the lack of dissipation for density and magnetic field, and prove the global well-posedness of strong solutions in the framework of Soboles spaces $H^3$. In addition, we also get the exponential decay for this non-resistive system. Different from the known results [23], [24], [42], we donot need the assumption that the background magnetic field is positive here., Comment: 25pages

Diffusive limit of the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system without angular cutoff in the framework of perturbation around global Maxwellian still remains open. By employing the weighted energy method with a newly introduced weight function $w_l(\alpha,\beta)$ and some novel treatments, we solve this problem for the full range of non-cutoff potentials $\gamma>-3$ and $0-3$ and $0

Diffusive limit of the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system with cutoff soft potentials $-3<\gamma<0$ in the perturbative framework around global Maxwellian still remains open. By introducing a new weighted $H_{x,v}^2$-$W_{x,v}^{2, \infty}$ approach with time decay, we solve this problem for the full range of cutoff potentials $-3<\gamma\leq 1$. The core of this approach lies in the interplay between the velocity weighted $H_{x,v}^2$ energy estimate with time decay and the time-velocity weighted $W_{x,v}^{2,\infty}$ estimate with time decay for the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system, which leads to the uniform estimate with respect to the Knudsen number $\varepsilon\in (0,1]$ globally in time. As a result, global strong solution is constructed and incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier-Poisson limit is rigorously justified for both hard and soft potentials. Meanwhile, this uniform estimate with respect to $\varepsilon\in (0,1]$ also yields optimal $L^2$ time decay rate and $L^\infty$ time decay rate for the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system and its incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier-Poisson limit. This newly introduced weighted $H_{x,v}^2$-$W_{x,v}^{2, \infty}$ approach with time decay is flexible and robust, as it can deal with both optimal time decay problems and hydrodynamic limit problems in a unified framework for the Boltzmann equation as well as the Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system for the full range of cutoff potentials. It is also expected to shed some light on the more challenging hydrodynamic limit of the Landau equation and the Vlasov-Poisson-Landau system., Comment: 59 pages
