Basic and integrated studies for fast ignition

The process of fast ignition (FI) using various laser systems was analyzed. A Petta watt (PW) laser system was used to study the basic elements relevant to FI, which could also be injected to a compressed core. Using a spherical target inserted with a Au cone guide for the PW laser pulse, an implode...

Description
Summary:The process of fast ignition (FI) using various laser systems was analyzed. A Petta watt (PW) laser system was used to study the basic elements relevant to FI, which could also be injected to a compressed core. Using a spherical target inserted with a Au cone guide for the PW laser pulse, an imploded core was heated upto 1 keV resulting in neutron increase which is 1000 times more than that without heating pulse.
