Power plant by LIB and its target gain, hybrid particle simulation for focusing of rotating and propagating light ion beam

  • 1. Tokyo Inst. of Tech., Yokohama (Japan). Dept. of Energy Sciences

Description

The power supply to extract proton beams of 10 MJ seems to be constructed without severe difficulties. In the case that light ion beam (LIB) is used as energy driver for inertial confinement fusion (ICF), the beam current becomes strong of order of 6 MA. One of the difficulties for LIB fusion is beam focusing and beam propagation in reactor cavity. Target must have high hydrodynamic efficiency. Nonuniform implosion causes the decrease in the fuel compression. Mechanism to smooth out nonuniform pusher pressure are discussed
