Recyclable Transmission Line Concept for Z-Pinch Driven Inertial Fusion Energy
J. S. De Groot,Craig L. Olson,Kyle Robert Cochrane,Stephen A. Slutz,Roger Alan Vesey,Per F. Peterson +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present preliminary designs of z-pinch driven fusion capsules that provide an adequate yield of 1-4 GJ, and also present numerical simulations of the effect of these fairly large fusion yields on the RTL and the first wall of the reactor chamber.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Conceptual designs of 300-TW and 800-TW pulsed-power accelerators

Savage,Adam B Sefkow,Daniel Sinars,Brian Stoltzfus,Roger Alan Vesey,Dale Welch,Joseph Ray Woodworth +43 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed conceptual designs of two next-generation petawatt-class pulsed-power accelerators, which are based on the architecture described in Ref.
Journal Article
Z-Pinch Generated X-Rays Demonstrate Indirect-Drive ICF Potential
R.L. Bowers,Gordon A. Chandler,Derzon,D. E. Hebron,R. J. Leeper,Maurice Keith Matzen,R. C. Mock,Thomas J. Nash,R. E. Olson,D.L. Peterson,L. E. Ruggles,T. W. L. Sanford,Walter W. Simpson,Kenneth W. Struve,Roger Alan Vesey +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Planckian relation P-T{sup 4} was established for indirect-drive ICF studies involving NIF relevant pulse shapes and <2-mm diameter capsules.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A two-sided Z-pinch driven-hohlraum for improved ICF radiation symmetry
M. E. Cuneo,Roger Alan Vesey,David Lester Hanson,John L. Porter,R. B. Spielman,Gordon A. Chandler,S. A. Slutz,T.J. Gilliland,P. Reynolds,L. E. Ruggles,Walter W. Simpson,H. Seaman,P. Primm,Jose A. Torres,J. S. McGurn,J. H. Hammer +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Z-pinch driven hohlraum (ZPDH) has shown great promise for indirect-drive ICF, where radiation is coupled from the primary to the secondary through a transparent Be-spoke electrode.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Progress in the Refining of the K-Shell Yield Scaling Model for Z-Pinch Plasma Radiation Sources
Andrey Esaulov,A. L. Velikovich,Varun Tangri,John Giuliani,Nicholas Ouart,Arati Dasgupta,Jens Schwarz,Roger Alan Vesey,D. J. Ampleford,M. A. Schaeuble,Brent Manley Jones +10 more
TL;DR: In this article , an analytical scaling model of K-shell radiation yield from imploding Z-pinch plasma radiation sources (PRS) has been developed at NRL to predict the k-shell yield as a function of input parameters, such as load mass and the energy coupled to the radiating plasma.
