Annual Review of Energy, 1980
The progress inertial confinement fusion (ICF) physics experiments and driver development is put in perspective by looking at the performance required to perform various military and commercial applications. Both the military and commercial applications require increasingly more-powerful drivers and a better understanding of target-coupling physics ...

Progress in inertial confinement fusion
Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 1988Reviews the current status of inertial confinement fusion. The recent results of high compression (100*liquid density) and high neutron yields (1012, 1013 per shot) obtained in separate laser experiments are discussed. The joint attainment of high densities and high temperature will require larger drivers (laser or ion beam).

Review of Inertial Confinement Fusion
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1997The physics of inertial confinement fusion is reviewed. The trend to short-wavelength lasers is argued, and the distinction between direct and indirect (soft X-ray) drive is made. Key present issues include the non-linear growth of Rayleigh–Taylor (R–T) instabilities, the seeding of this instability by the initial laser imprint, the relevance of self ...

Advanced Fusion Fuel for Inertial Confinement Fusion
Fusion Technology, 1992This paper reports that the realization of an ideal volume compression of laser-irradiated fusion pellets opens the possibility for an alternative to spark ignition; this has been proposed for many years for inertial confinement fusion. Using a detailed volume ignition computation of sources of reheat in deuterium-deuterium (D-D) reactions (alpha ...

This chapter begins by discussing the nuclear physics that makes possible laboratory fusion, and considering on basic grounds the energy gain that might be possible and what is required for a power plant. Some exploration of the properties of DT fuel follows, enabling one to identify its behavior under compression and its response to entropy deposition.

Status of inertial confinement fusion
Journal of Fusion Energy, 1987Technical, institutional, and financial assessments are made of inertial confinement fusion programs in the United States. Among the programs discussed are the Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator at Sandia, the AURORA facility at Los Alamos, the Heavy Ion Fusion Accelerator at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, the OMEGA glass laser system and facility, and ...

Outlook for inertial confinement fusion
Journal of Fusion Energy, 1996During the next ten years the National Ignition Facility (NIF) will be completed and substantial fusion gains are likely to be achieved with the NIF megajoule class solid state laser. A facility very similar to NIF is being constructed by the French nuclear weapons program.

Inertial Confinement Fusion with Light Ion Beams
Science, 1986The Particle Beam Fusion Accelerator II (PBFA II) is presently under construction and is the only existing facility with the potential of igniting thermonuclear fuel in the laboratory. The accelerator will generate up to 5 megamperes of lithium ions at 30 million electron volts and will focus them onto an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) target after ...

The feasibility of inertial-confinement fusion
Physics Today, 1982So concluded the chairman of a Department of Energy ad hoc committee of experts in 1979, after a comprehensive review of the US inertial-confinement fusion program. In spite of this positive evaluation, the role of inertial-confinement fusion in the total US energy program continues to be a subject of disagreement.
