Hydrodynamic analysis of light-ion beam-driven ICF target

Description

The interaction of 4 MeV proton beams with a DT target covered by an aluminium absorber and lead tamper layers are calculated basing on the hydrodynamic model. The Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmoltz instabilities are analyzed. The time evolution of particle distribution are obtained for two intensities of proton beams 5 TW and 120 TW per cm2. The dynamics of the target interface perturbations caused by the non-uniformity of the beam cross section is studied. (AIP) copyright 1994 American Institute of Physics
