Abstract
This manuscript provides a detailed and extended analysis of the breakeven conditions for nuclear fusion based on beam-target interactions, distinct from conventional plasma-based approaches. Building on the energy-based criterion introduced in the accompanying Letter~\cite{TK_arXiv}, we formulate a self-consistent description of stopping power in electron-suppressed targets and derive quantitative, implementation-agnostic conditions under which fusion energy generation can exceed beam energy loss.
