Title: Challenges Surrounding the Injection and Arrival of Targets at LIFE Fusion Chamber Center

Journal Article · · Fusion Science and Technology
OSTI ID:1028881

IFE target designers must consider several engineering requirements in addition to the physics requirements for successful target implosion. These considerations include low target cost, high manufacturing throughput, the ability of the target to survive the injection into the fusion chamber and arrive in a condition and physical position consistent with proper laser-target interaction and ease of post-implosion debris removal. This article briefly describes these considerations for the Laser Inertial Fusion-based Energy (LIFE) targets currently being designed.
