Abstract
The dynamics and thermonuclear fusion parameters of a spinning gas-puff sta ged pinch are investigated by considering a DT-fibre plasma seeded with a K r impurity. The effects: of anomalous heating, line radiations from Kr, alp ha-heating and radiative collapse are studied for different spin velocities Omega(0), keeping the spin coupling parameter f(0)(= 0.1) fixed. Numerical results indicate that that choice of Omega(0) is highly critical. Large va lues of the spin velocities although provide stabilization against the R-T instability in the final stage of compression, but causes an adverse reduct ion in thc values of the plasma parameters that are essential to achieve co ntrolled fusion, Our analysis suggests that a judicious choice of spin velo city call provide the desired temperature and density when we seed a DT-fib re plasma with a small fraction of Kr impurity to initiate radiative collap se.
