Substantial reductions of input energy and peak power requirements in targets for heavy ion fusion (open access)

Substantial reductions of input energy and peak power requirements in targets for heavy ion fusion

Two ways of reducing the requirements of the heavy ion driver for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) target implosion are described. Compared to estimates of target gain not using these methods, the target input energy and peak power may be reduced by about a factor of two with the use of the hybrid-implosion concept. Another factor of two reduction in input energy may be obtained with the use of spin-polarized DT fuel in the ICF target.
