摘要: The concept of fast ignition with inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is a way to reduce the energy required for and burn maximize gain produced by single implosion. Based on recent experimental findings at PETAWATT laser Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, an intense proton beam achieve proposed. It direct acceleration focused onto pellet from rear side irradiated target can be integrated into hohlraum indirect drive ICF.
