In transition: Commercializing fusion power
Commercial fusion power is closer than ever. There are now around 30 U.S. fusion companies, several of which claim to be on track to connect to the grid as early as the 2030s.
Tokamak and laser inertial confinement approaches benefit from decades of research at facilities such as the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and ITER, with alternative concepts including stellarator, magnetic mirror, and Z-pinch confinement also making notable progress as private and government funding for fusion increases.

A model for sampling inelastic hadron/nucleon interactions at energies below 5 GeV is described. The model describes the total hadronic cross section as a sum of quasi-two-body reaction channels. Inelastic events are sampled by first selecting one of these reaction channels and the subsequent decay of all resonances produced. Comparison with exclusive and inclusive data indicates very good agreement. The model is very well suited for hadron cascade calculations, detector simulation, and as input for models of hadron/nucleus interactions.
