Abstract

The audit is implemented as six MATLAB scripts (base MATLAB, R2018b-compatible, no toolboxes), each self-contained and each corresponding to the figures as listed in table 5. The physical formulas are equations (1)–(20) of the text; the electron equilibrium of equation (13) is solved by bisection at every evaluated point, and an added function for calculations for different fusion fuels. Table 5. The deposited audit suite [7]. Script Content / figures sasr_alfven_freq_check.m Single-point two-condition check; density-drift retuning specification; skin-depth consistency. sasr_alfven_grounding_v2.m Three-machine feasibility (D–T 9 T, SSPX-class, p–11B); localization and Chirikov guards; kinetic scales. Figure 6. sasr_pb11_cooling_race.m The published point: beta–density consistency, equilibration times, drain-to-fusion ratio, timescale ladder. sasr_master_audit.m Unified closures I–II with both Lawson forms; density and field sweeps. sasr_qeng_optimizer_v2.m Two-phase gain with self-consistent Te; the fsync sweep. Figures 2, 4. sasr_full_audit.m sasr_fuel_conditions.m All five closures including the wall; feasible-region map; the N = 9 comb. Figures 1, 3, 5; tables 1–3. Operating Conditions for the D–T, D–³He, and p–¹¹B Fuel Cycles
