Title: High-Density and High-pR Fuel Assembly for Fast-Ignition Inertial Confinement Fusion

Journal Article · · Physics of Plasmas
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2127932· OSTI ID:859335

Scaling relations to optimize implosion parameters for fast-ignition inertial confinement fusion are derived and used to design high-gain fast-ignition targets. A method to assemble thermonuclear fuel at high densities, high pR, and with a small-size hot spot is presented.
