Apparatus for producing cryogenic inertially driven fusion targets

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6303369
A new technique for producing uniform layers of solid dt on microballoon surfaces. Local heating of the target, typically by means of a focused laser, within an isothermal freezing cell containing a low pressure cryogenic exchange gas such as helium, vaporizes the dt fuel contained within the microballoon. Removal of the laser heating source causes the dt gas to rapidly condense and freeze in a layer which exhibits a good degree of uniformity.
