Shock Convergence and Mix Dynamics in Inertial Confinement Fusion
Understanding the phenomena of shock propagation and of turbulent mix induced by Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability growth is of critical importance for ignition and high gain in inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Capsule assembly and hot-spot formation require careful timing of multiple shocks to maximize hot-spot heating while minimizing heating of the main fuel. Unmitigated mixing of the main ...

LLE Review, Volume 143 125 Introduction In inertial confinement fusion (ICF),1 a shell of cryogenic deuterium (D) and tritium (T) filled with DT gas is imploded with direct laser illumination (direct drive)2 or through an x-ray bath produced inside a laser-irradiated hohlraum (indirect drive).3 Energy from the laser or x ray is absorbed in the plasma near the outer surface of the target, causin...

LLE Review, Volume 150 100 Introduction In direct-drive cryogenic inertial confinement fusion (ICF)1 implosions, a target comprising a shell of cryogenic deuterium–tritium (DT) fuel enclosing a vapor region is irradiated using multiple nearly identical laser beams. As the kinetic energy of the imploding shell is converted to the thermal energy of the hot spot, the shell undergoes deceleration a...

106 LLE Review, Volume 71 Understanding the growth of perturbations due to hydrodynamic instabilities is important to the design of direct-drive targets for the National Ignition Facility (NIF). Direct-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF) has the potential to be more efficient than indirect-drive ICF; however, there is the potential for greater growth of hydrodynamic instabilities due to the...

Fast ignition is a new method for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) in which the compression and ignition steps are separated. In the first stage, fuel is compressed by laser or ion beams. In the second phase, relativistic electrons are generated by pettawat laser in the fuel. Also, in the second phase 5-35 MeV protons can be generated in the fuel. Electrons or protons can penetrate in to the u...
