plasma-wakefield acceleration?

Post by StevePoling »

Hey guys, I just read about a plasma-wakefield accelerator http://nextbigfuture.com/2009/04/smalle ... ticle.html and the description of its rather violent interactions between electron beams and plasmas led me to wonder whether wakefield interactions could be useful in inducing fusion reactions.

Do any of you brainiacs have any opinions on the subject?
