Success in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) requires sophisticated, characterized targets. The increasing fidelity of three-dimensional (3D), radiation hydrodynamic computer codes has made it possible to design targets for ICF which can compensate for limitations in the existing single shot laser and Z pinch ICF drivers. Developments in ICF target fabrication technology allow more esoteric target designs to be fabricated. At present, requirements require new deterministic nano-material fabrication on micro scale.

Confinement Fusion

In this paper we compare the requirements for a light ion beam driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF) reactor with the present achievements in pulsed power technology, ion diode performance, beam transport, and target physics. The largest gap exists in beam quality and repetition rate capability of high-power ion diodes. Beam quality can very likely be improved to a level sufficient for driving a single-shot ignition facility, if the potential of two-stage acceleration is used. Present schemes for repetition rate ion diodes allow either too low power densities or create too large beam divergence. On the other hand, repetitively operating pulsed-power generators meeting the requirements for an ICF reactor driver can be built with present technology. Also, a rather mature target concept has been developed for indirect drive with light ion beams.
