Ampère force calculation for filament fusion experiments

doi:10.1016/0375-9601(93)90202-B

Abstract

Recent developments in filamentary fusion techniques are discussed. Ampère's electrodynamic force law is used to calculate the forces on filamentary currents, and is shown to predict the observed beading. Subsequent computation reveals compression forces on the beads, which may be sufficient to account for the observed fusion reactions.
