Isotopic separation during plasma expansion

Plasma Physics 2007-05-23 v1 Medical Physics

Abstract

A plasma based isotopic separation method is proposed. Isotopes of different masses get separated during plasma expansion. Relying on Gurevichs (A.V.Gurevich, L.V.Pariiskaya and L.P.Pitaevskii, Sov.Phys.JETP, 36,274 (1973)) plasma expansion into a vacuum model, the enrichment factor has been calculated. For t =15 (t being the normalized time), an increase of the relative abundance of 30% is expected.
