Electron Shock Ignition of Inertial Fusion Targets

Title: Electron Shock Ignition of Inertial Fusion Targets

Abstract

Here, it is shown that inertial fusion targets designed with low implosion velocities can be shock ignited using laser–plasma interaction generated hot electrons (hot-e) to obtain high-energy gains. These designs are robust to multimode asymmetries and are predicted to ignite even for significantly distorted implosions. Electron shock ignition requires tens of kilojoules of hot-e, which can only be produced on a large laser facility like the National Ignition Facility, with the laser to hot-e conversion efficiency greater than 10% at laser intensities ~10¹⁶ W/cm².

Dynamic symmetry of indirectly driven inertial confinement fusion capsules on the National Ignition Facility

Journal Article Town, R. P. J., ; Bradley, D. K. ; Kritcher, A. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

In order to achieve ignition using inertial confinement fusion it is important to control the growth of low-mode asymmetries as the capsule is compressed. Understanding the time-dependent evolution of the shape of the hot spot and surrounding fuel layer is crucial to optimizing implosion performance. A design and experimental campaign to examine sources of asymmetry and to quantify symmetry throughout the implosion has been developed and executed on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) [E. I. Moses et al., Phys. Plasmas 16, 041006 (2009)]. We have constructed a large simulation database of asymmetries applied during different time intervals. Analysis of themore »« less

Driving high-gain shock-ignited inertial confinement fusion targets by green laser light

Journal Article Atzeni, Stefano ; Marocchino, Alberto ; Schiavi, Angelo - Physics of Plasmas

Standard direct-drive inertial confinement fusion requires UV light irradiation in order to achieve ignition at total laser energy of the order of 1 MJ. The shock-ignition approach opens up the possibility of igniting fusion targets using green light by reducing the implosion velocity and laser-driven ablation pressure. An analytical model is derived, allowing to rescale UV-driven targets to green light. Gain in the range 100-200 is obtained for total laser energy in the range 1.5-3 MJ. With respect to the original UV design, the rescaled targets are less sensitive to irradiation asymmetries and hydrodynamic instabilities, while operating in the samemore » laser-plasma interaction regime.« less

Initial experiments on the shock-ignition inertial confinement fusion concept

Journal Article Theobald, W ; Stoeckl, C ; Anderson, K S ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Shock ignition is a two-step inertial confinement fusion concept where a strong shock wave is launched at the end of the laser pulse to ignite the compressed core of a low-velocity implosion. Initial shock-ignition technique experiments were performed at the OMEGA Laser Facility [T. R. Boehly et al., Opt. Commun. 133, 495 (1997)] using 40-{mu}m-thick, 0.9-mm-diam, warm surrogate plastic shells filled with deuterium gas. The experiments showed a significant improvement in the performance of low-adiabat, low-velocity implosions compared to conventional 'hot-spot' implosions. High areal densities with average values exceeding {approx}0.2 g/cm{sup 2} and peak areal densities above 0.3 g/cm{sup 2}more »« less

Spherical strong-shock generation for shock-ignition inertial fusion

Journal Article Theobald, W. ; Nora, R. ; Seka, W. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Recent experiments on the Laboratory for Laser Energetics’ OMEGA laser have been carried out to produce strong shocks in solid spherical targets with direct laser illumination. The shocks are launched at pressures of several hundred Mbars and reach Gbar upon convergence. The results are relevant to the validation of the shock-ignition scheme and to the development of an OMEGA experimental platform to study material properties at Gbar pressures. The experiments investigate the strength of the ablation pressure and the hot-electron production at incident laser intensities of ~2 to 6 x 10¹⁵W/cm² and demonstrate ablation pressures exceeding 300 Mbar, which ismore »« less

A comprehensive alpha-heating model for inertial confinement fusion

Journal Article Christopherson, A. R. ; Betti, R. ; Bose, A. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

In this paper, a comprehensive model is developed to study alpha-heating in inertially confined plasmas. It describes the time evolution of a central low-density hot spot confined by a compressible shell, heated by fusion alphas, and cooled by radiation and thermal losses. The model includes the deceleration, stagnation, and burn phases of inertial confinement fusion implosions, and is valid for sub-ignited targets with ≤10× amplification of the fusion yield from alpha-heating. The results of radiation-hydrodynamic simulations are used to derive realistic initial conditions and dimensionless parameters for the model. It is found that most of the alpha energy (~90%) producedmore »« less
