Abstract
The development of a system for noncontact positioning and transport of cryogenic fuel targets (CFTs) is an important task in the inertial confinement fusion (ICF) program. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of constructing a levitation system for accelerating the CFT magnetic carrier along a superconducting tape guide made of HTSC materials.
