Advantages of Impact Ignition (1) Simple Physics (2) High Gain (3) Low Cost
Gain curves for Impact Ignition Targets
Impact Ignition can be designed in other illumination schemes Laser Direct HIB Indirect Laser Indirect
Shock tube problem to estimate the necessary implosion velocity Impactor Main fuel
More realistic velocities would be 1 -2 x 108 cm/s
Temporal evolution of density profile
1 D Radiation-hydrodynamic simulation shows that hyper velocities ~ 108 cm/s can be achieved under proper conditions.
Experiment Laser: • Gekko/HIPER: t. L = 2. 5 ns (super-Gaussian) l. L = 0. 35 mm IL = 4 x 1014 W/cm 2 Target: 14 - 20 mm, • Br-doped plastic planar target (CHBr) • Polystylen (CH)
High Intensity Plasma Experimental Research (HIPER) HIPER and NIKE are the only facilities that can explore impact ignition Target: CH, CHBr 0 cm th = 50 g n e l l Foca #=3 F e v i t Effec KDP Foot pulse Wavelength: 0. 53 mm (2 w) Energy: 0. 5 k.

Kritical issues that should be addressed
Summary (1) Preliminary 2 D simulation in full geometry has achieved key numbers such as V = 108 cm/s, r = 400 g/cm 3, T = 5 ke. V (2) First experiment has demonstrated a maximum velocity, V = 6 x 107 cm/s, ever achieved. (3) Further research is now being programmed under ILE/NRL collaboration toward realization of IFI.
