OSTI ID:4155040
Computer studies of the behavior of targets composed of a low-Z ablator surrounding a gold pusher are described. The targets consisted of the following: (1) an ablator, the low-Z outer part of the shell where most of the beam energy is absorbed, (2) a pusher, the high-Z inner part of the shell which accelerates inward because of the high ablator pressure, and (3) the DT fuel, which is compressed and heated to thermonuclear temperatures by the imploding pusher. Some breakeven calculations are described. (MOW)
