So, are you now saying that your experiment will be beams running through a plasma?!? If you can't get your own idea straight in your head, then there is no hope for the rest of us!!
This is a completely different set of physics. Plasma reactions to ions running through them is complex and often surprising and a very interesting aspect of plasma physics, but plently of fusion experiments regularly run high energy beams into plasma and they don't generate net fusion! For sure, you do get plenty of reactions, but never 'pay-back'.
What are the plasma parameters for the plasma that your beams are going to run through?

Kite, this thread was never about polywell. It was JC trying to initiate a conversation to show his idea is better than a polywell experiment, and that we should all give up waiting for polywell to come good (or bad - whatever) and all swoon at the genius of his idea.
Now I only swoon at your knowledge of fusion. Regardless is that Polywell or other.

No, I only shoed you and others that in case of coherent motion or in other words beams the total neutralization of space charge is not obligatory.
Do more readings.
