Energy gain of spherical shell targets ablatively imploded by thermal radiation

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

A previous model which allows the calculation of the target gain consistently with the implosion phase is used to study how the ignition energy is determined by the parameters which control the implosion and the ignition. Location and height of the ignition cliff are found to be strongly dependent on the implosion velocity and on the cold fuel isentrope, in good agreement with recently reported simulations. Besides, gain and ignition energy depend on the constraints imposed by the symmetry and hydrostability criteria.
