How Shock ignition can help to overcome the negative effects of hot electrons in direct-drive high-gain inertial confinement fusion

Abstract: Hot electrons produced by parametric instabilities can negatively affect the thermonuclear gain of a direct-drive inertial confinement fusion capsule. A Monte Carlo transport is coupled to the hydrodynamics MULTI-IFE code in order to study the hot electron transport in a high-gain target implosion. The thermonuclear energy produced by the directly driven implosion of a reference target drops from 27 MJ without hot electrons to 13.5 kJ when the hot electrons are taken into account. A clear relationship is estab… Show more
