Integrated implosion/heating studies for advanced fast ignition

The ultrafast heating of implosions using cone/shell geometeries was discussed. The study was carried out by using the 1054 nm, nanosecond, 0.9 kJ output of the VULCAN Nd:glass laser to drive 186 μm diameter, 6 μm wall thickness Cu-dopped deuterated plastic (CD) shells in 6-beam cubic symmetry. It w...
