Title: Lawrence Livermore Laboratory heavy ion fusion program

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6312743· OSTI ID:6312743

In the large fusion program at Livermore we are actively doing research in most areas of inertial confinement fusion. The areas in which we are funded for research specific to heavy ion fusion are: (1) target design; (2) energy conversion chamber design and (3) ion beam propagation in the combustion chamber. There are two main thrusts to the target design effort: (1) development of targets which are optimally suited to heavy ion fusion power production and (2) fundamental studies of the beam-target interaction.
