Researches on reactor core in Heavy ion inertial fusion

In Heavy ion inertial fusion (HIF), the issues include the generation and transport of heavy ion beam (HIB), the optimum pellet structure, the realistic nuclear fusion reactor design, etc. In this research, we have studied a conceptual design of a nuclear fusion reactor system in HIF (see Fig. 1)..

Target implosion uniformity in heavy ion fusion

It is well known that heavy ion beams (HIBs) have a high controllability, a high driver energy conversion efficiency and a high repetition rate. Wobbling HIBs are easily available as the energy driver in inertial fusion..

Control of fuel target implosion non-uniformity in heavy ion inertial fusion

implosion is one of issues to achieve ignition in inertial fusion targets, and has been studied by various mitigation mechanisms. The nonuniformity is caused by several factors. The Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) is one of them
