← ScienceWhich outcome increases when inertial confinement fusion pulse duration exceeds optimal timeframe?
A)Increased plasma instability growth rate✓
B)Enhanced fuel pellet compression symmetry
C)Higher neutron flux generation rates
D)Improved alpha particle energy confinement
💡 Explanation
Increased duration enables Rayleigh-Taylor instability growth to dominate because perturbation size exponentially increases, quickly disrupting the burning plasma. Therefore, energy yield plummets rather than increasing fusion due to compression issues, and altered alpha parameters.
