Properties of ablatively accelerated targets

Creators

Description

Targets are ablatively accelerated to high velocity (> 107 cm/s) with good hydrodynamic efficiency (approx. 20%) using low-irradiance (1013 to 1014W/cm2) long (3 to 4 ns) Nd-laser pulses. Detailed properties of the interaction and acceleration as well as comments upon the suitability of this approach to the laser fusion application are presented. Results of unique double-target experiments are also included
