Introduction to Inertial Confinement Fusion

Informationen zum Autor Pfalzner! Susanne Zusammenfassung Newcomers to the field of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) often have difficulty establishing a clear picture of the overall field. This book presents an overview of the processes involved in ICF and follows the processes from the driver technology to burn physics in chronological order. Inhaltsverzeichnis Fundamentals of Inertial Confinement Fusion. Laser Drivers for ICF. Basic Plasma Physics. Absorption of Laser Light. Hydrodynamic Compression and Burn. Rayleigh-Taylor Instabilities. Energy Requirements and Gain. Targets. ICF Power Plant. Heavy-Ion Driven Fusion. Fast Ignitor. ABC of ICF. Appendices. References.
