Abstract
Theoretical and computational studies on ICF targets, conducted co-operatively by researchers from different European institutions (ENEA-Frascati, MPQ-Garching, University of Frankfurt and UPM-Madrid) are reviewed: (1) Targets for heavy-ion fusion are studied by 1-D and 2-D radiation-hydrodynamics simulations and by view factor codes; a new configuration is proposed aiming at achieving ignition with 2-3 MJ of heavy ion energy. (2) Some aspects of the physics of fast ignitor targets an: addressed, including beam requirements for D-T ignition, deuterium burning and ultra-intense laser beam channeling in plasma. (3) Results on ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability are reported.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
