Abstract

The feasibility is considered of igniting thermonuclear reaction during the gas-dynamic compression of a capsule filled with a gaseous DT mixture by a compact high-speed plasma liner. Semiempirical parameters of the liner are chosen by analyzing the results of experiments on X-ray generation in the PBFA-Z device. Results are presented from one-dimensional scaling calculations of the neutron yield, temperature, and gas compression ratio over a wide range of liner current.
