Title: SIMULATION OF CHAMBER TRANSPORT FOR HEAVY-ION FUSION DRIVERS

Conference ·
; ; ; ; ; ;

The heavy-ion fusion (HIF) community recently developed a power-plant design that meets the various requirements of accelerators, final focus, chamber transport, and targets. The point design is intended to minimize physics risk and is certainly not optimal for the cost of electricity. Recent chamber-transport simulations, however, indicate that changes in the beam ion species, the convergence angle, and the emittance might allow more-economical designs.
