Burning the DT-plasma with inert impurities and non-cryogenic ICF-target with solid fuel

The ignition criterion, ignition energy and gain of DT-plasma of ICF-target in the presence of impurities of light atoms such as beryllium, carbon and lithium at their arbitrary concentration are found. It is shown that the most promising type of non-cryogenic solid thermonuclear fuel is DT-hydride of beryllium (BeDT). It is suggested to apply the targets with such a fuel as: (1) Fast-ignited ICF-target at the ignition energy of 25–50 kJ and compression driver energy of 2–3 MJ; (2) ICF-target spark-ignited by 15–20 MJ heavy ion driver; (3) Spark-ignited target by 5–7 MJ laser as a neutron source for hybrid fusion-fission

MHD cumulation and X-ray emission pulse from X-pinch

The numerical data on electrical explosion of X-pinches have been obtained to analyze the physical phenomena, which lead to a generation of short high-intensity X-ray pulses observed in experiments. The main attention is given to MHD cumulative processes occurring in point-like regions of a non-equilibrium compressed plasma with high temperatures. The model gives the scaling laws for X-pinch cascade evolution, in particular, for hot-spot plasma parameters and X-ray burst. Namely, the duration of an x-ray pulse is of several picosecond, the size of a spark region is not larger than a few microns, and the X-ray pulse intensity is about 10$^{17}$W/cm$^{2}$
