    How can a hohlraum prevent laser fusion instability?

    Hey everyone, I am not knowledgeable in the field of physics, so please excuse me if my question is obvious or poorly worded. I have found myself reading recently about various Nuclear Fusion research, and just now I came across an overview of fusion contained by lasers, specifically at the...

    Maths Biology - linear instability

    1. Homework Statement Given the linear diffusion equation with a linear source term, \frac{\partial u}{\partial t} =\frac{\partial^2u}{\partial x^2} + au where a is a positive constant and inital data u(x,0) = u0(x) use a linear instability analysis to show u identically equal to 0 is...

    The instability of Rutherford's atomic model

    I understand Rutherford proposed that electrons orbit around a central nucleus. However, since accelerating charges produce electromagnetic radiation, the orbiting electron should lose energy via E&M and spiral into the nucleus. But my question is: How do I calculate the time it takes for the...
