Abstract

A substantial effort at KMS Fusion is in the area of Direct Illumination Spherical Target Experiments with the recent emphasis in understanding thermal and superthermal transport and the mechanisms which can limit high convergence ratio implosions. These processes must be well understood in order to do effective target design calculations needed for larger ICF facilities.
