Physical processes of volume ignition and thermonuclear burn for high-gain inertial confinement fusion
- Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics, P.O. Box 8009, Beijing 100088 (China)
Of late years, the volume ignition for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) has received great attention. In this paper, physical processes of volume ignition and burn from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) transiting to the non-LTE are described, threshold values for the volume ignition are given, the property of the critical point that determines the maximum ion temperature in the burn process, and the quenching process of the thermonuclear system are discussed. Finally, a model is numerically computed, the above processes are well demonstrated, and the high gain is reached. {copyright} 1994 {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}
