Progress and prospects for an IFE relevant FI point design
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, CA 94550, USA
Published online: 15 November 2013
The physics issues involved in scaling from sub-ignition to high gain fast ignition are discussed. Successful point designs must collimate the electrons and minimise the standoff distance to avoid multi-megajoule ignition energies. Collimating B field configurations are identified and some initial designs are explored.
