Journal ArticleDOI
Fast ignitor target studies for the HiPER project
Stefano Atzeni,Angelo Schiavi,J. J. Honrubia,Xavier Ribeyre,Guy Schurtz,Ph. Nicolaï,M. Olazabal-Loumé,C. Bellei,Roger Evans,J. R. Davies +9 more
TL;DR: Dunne et al. as mentioned in this paper discussed ignition and compression requirements, and presented gain curves, based on an integrated model including ablative drive, compression, ignition and burn, and taking the coupling efficiency of the igniting beam as a parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shock ignition: modelling and target design robustness
TL;DR: In this article, a pre-compressed deuterium tritium fuel is considered and a converging shock is launched in the target prior to stagnation time to enhance the hot spot pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on targets for inertial fusion ignition demonstration at the HiPER facility
Stefano Atzeni,J. R. Davies,L. Hallo,J. J. Honrubia,Pierre-Henri Maire,M. Olazabal-Loumé,Jean-Luc Feugeas,Xavier Ribeyre,Angelo Schiavi,Guy Schurtz,Jérôme Breil,Ph. Nicolaï +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects on fuel compression of low-mode irradiation non-uniformities have been studied by 2D simulations and an analytical model, and the scaling of the electron beam energy required for ignition (versus electron kinetic energy) has been determined by two-dimensional fluid simulations including a 3D Monte Carlo treatment of relativistic electrons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental evidence of foam homogenization
Ph. Nicolaï,M. Olazabal-Loumé,Shinsuke Fujioka,Atsushi Sunahara,N.G. Borisenko,S. Gus'kov,A. Orekov,Mickael Grech,G. Riazuelo,C. Labaune,J. Velechowski,Vladimir Tikhonchuk +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the propagation of an ionization wave through a subcritical foam is studied under inertial confinement fusion conditions, and independent measurements of the wave velocity are compared with hydrodynamic simulations and analytical models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compression phase study of the HiPER baseline target
Xavier Ribeyre,Ph. Nicolaï,Guy Schurtz,M. Olazabal-Loumé,Jérôme Breil,Pierre-Henri Maire,Jean-Luc Feugeas,L. Hallo,Vladimir Tikhonchuk +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the robustness of the fast ignitor target during the compression phase and define pulse shape tolerances for a successful fuel assembly were studied for the European High Power laser Energy Research (HiPER) project.
