← ScienceWhich mechanism limits energy output during plasma pinching fusion attempts?
A)Rayleigh-Taylor instability development✓
B)Inverse Compton scattering increase
C)Debye length expansion magnitude
D)Photoelectric absorption coefficient rise
💡 Explanation
Rayleigh-Taylor instability disrupts the plasma column as magnetic pressure accelerates lighter plasma into heavier plasma, because this induces turbulence therefore reduces confinement time, rather than Compton scattering increase arising from electron collisions affecting plasma density profiles.
