Shock ignition target design for inertial fusion energy
Continuing work in the design of shock ignition targets is described. Because of reduced implosion velocity requirements, low target adiabats, and efficient drive by short wavelength lasers, these targets produce high gain (> 100) at laser energies well below 1 megajoule. Effects of hydrodynamic instabilities like Rayleigh-Taylor or RichtmyerMeshkov are greatly reduced in these low-aspect ratio...
متن کاملLead (Pb) Hohlraum: Target for Inertial Fusion Energy
Recent progress towards demonstrating inertial confinement fusion (ICF) ignition at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) has sparked wide interest in Laser Inertial Fusion Energy (LIFE) for carbon-free large-scale power generation. A LIFE-based fleet of power plants promises clean energy generation with no greenhouse gas emissions and a virtually limitless, widely available thermonuclear fuel s...
متن کاملFusion cross-sections for inertial fusion energy
The application of selective resonant tunneling model is extended from d 1 t fusion to other light nucleus fusion reactions, such as d 1 d fusion and d 1 3He. In contrast to traditional formulas, the new formula for the cross-section needs only a few parameters to fit the experimental data in the energy range of interest. The features of the astrophysical S-function are derived in terms of this...
متن کاملLight for controlled fusion energy: A perspective on laser-driven inertial fusion
The status of laser-driven inertial confinement fusion research is briefly reviewed. The recent major achievement of fusion energy release exceeding the energy delivered by the laser to the fuel (Hurricane O. et al., Nature, 506 (2014) 343), and the efforts towards ignition demonstration using indirect-drive are discussed. Physics model reliability is addressed. The potentials of alternative sc...
متن کاملProduction of Hollow Microspheres for Inertial Confinement Fusion Experiments
The targets used in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are plastic capsules roughly 0.5 mm in diameter. The capsules, which typically have wall thicknesses from 20 to 60 p, must possess extraordinary symmetry and concentricity and must have surface finishes of less than 1000 A peak-to-valley variation over surface contours of from 10 to 1...
