Physics | In magnetic confinement fusion plasmas with toroidal geometry: ratio of the major diameter of the plasma from side-to-side across the entire plasma ring (including the open center of 'dough nut' geometry) divided by the minor diameter width of a slice taken through solid width of one side of the 'dough nut'. In inertial confinement fusion plasmas: ratio of the diameter of the 'pea-sized' fusion-fuel capsule's divided by capsule's outer shell thickness. (references) |
