Abstract:
Ablatively driven inertial fusion targets require a high degree of geometrical perfection to achieve optimum burn conditions. Detailed target fabrication specifications are given by designers to minimize instability growth during the implosion process. Currently, the most significant target imperfection arises from the mass introduced by the target delivery support attachment. Alternate target supporting schemes have been investigated to reduce the target support mass perturbation while reliably permitting target irradition experiments. The new support schemes developed have reduced dimensions, use new materials, and significantly improve target implosion symmetry. A thousand-fold reduction in the effective target support mass is achievable with the developed target delivery support systems. Delivery reliability for the described systems is higher than that of conventional capillary butt mounts.
