That is the worry I have as well. According to Eric’s simulation results in the Technical Paper 1 the maximum reasonably achievable ratio of (Xray + Beam) / Input is 1.57.
There seems to be a little error in this paper:
On the bottom of page 5, it says “Fuel: B10H1” Shouldn’t that be B11H1?
I think it means the B_10H_14 decaborane – which when sublimed into the moderate vacuum will begin to dissociate and the hydrogens get knocked off. The partially ionized plasma will then completely break up the molecules when the discharge goes through it.
Even in that case, it’s a different kind of error, because B10H1 makes no sense in either way.
