Controlled heavy-ion fusion and deuterium targets

The up-to-data state of works on inertial heavy-ion synthesis (IHIS) is described; basic physical principles of this direction of controlled heavy-ion synthesis are presented. Optimization problems are considered using the illustration of spherically-symmetrical target with tritium-deuterium fuel. Investigation of possibility to create deuterium-deuterium (DD) targets of IHIS is carried out. The structure of the cylindrical DD target with the use of magnetic heat insulation and detonation condition of DD fuel burning is suggested. 16 refs.; 7 figs.; 7 tabs
