ABSTRACT

During injection, inertial fusion energy (IFE) direct drive (DD) targets are subject to heating from energy exchange with the background gas and radiation from the wall. This heat deposition could lead to deuterium-tritium (DT) phase change and target deformation violating the target physics symmetry requirements. This paper assesses the thermal behavior of the target under such conditions and explores possible ways of extending the target lifetime.
