Title: Heavy ion inertial fusion: interface between target gain, accelerator phase space and reactor beam transport revisited

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7183132

Recently revised estimates of target gain have added additional optimistic inputs to the interface between targets, accelerators and fusion chamber beam transport. But it remains valid that neutralization of the beams in the fusion chamber is useful if ion charge state Z > 1 or if > 1 kA per beamlet is to be propagated. Some engineering and economic considerations favor higher currents.
