Abstract

In the spherical pinch scheme, the temperature of central D-T plasma must reach the value,T=2.58 kev and the density of central D-T plasma is also not very high. The radiation energy and pressure cannot be neglected. Taking into account the influence of the radiation, the present study reveals the new scaling laws under the conditions of high temperature radiation hydrodynamics.
