The model includes effects not normally considered in inertial confinement fusion such as magnetic back-pressure on the imploding shell, magnetic reduction of thermal conductivity, magnetic diffusion, and Ohmic heating. The model is simple enough to permit a survey of the parameter space available for magnetized fuel by computing the behaviour of thousands of targets. The survey predicts the existence of a totally new region in parameter space where significant thermonuclear fuel burn-up can occur. The new region is characterized by very low fuel densities, very low implosion velocities, and, most important, driver requirements reduced by several orders of magnitude, suggesting that 'break-even' experiments may be possible with existing inertial confinement fusion drivers. The computed results are in reasonable agreement with more complete two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations. Austria 1983-03-01 English Journal Article Journal Name: Nucl.
