Abstract: | Correlated ion stopping of charged debris resulting from the fragmentation of energetic cluster ions focussed on Au foam converters is considered for driving indirectly a thermonuclear capsule. The 1D simulation of converter time evolution demonstrates a very high conversion efficiency of projectile energy into hard X-ray photons building up a very hot (Tr > 300 eV) thermal bath. Intense and energetic cluster ion beams thus demonstrate considerable potential as a novel driver for inertial confinement fusion. |
