The US Department of Energy is conducting a preliminary study of a Laboratory Microfusion Facility (LMF). A major goal of the LMF is the development of high-gain ICF targets in a laboratory environment. Light ion beams are a candidate for the LMF driver. This paper discusses initial results from a study of a light ion beam driver for the LMF. An overview of the LMF design concept is presented together with key design issues for the various subsystems. 15 refs., 6 figs., 4 tabs.
