| Abstract: | The Laboratory Microfusion Facility (LMF) is being planned to develop high-grain, high-yield (200 MJ-1000 MJ) ICF targets for applications to nuclear weapons effects simulation, thermonuclear weapons physics, and energy production. It is expected that a 1000-MJ yield will require ∼10--20 MJ input energy to the target. The light-ion beam driver concept for the LMF consists of 36 accelerator modules that drive independent Li⁺ ion diodes. Each ion beam is extracted from an annular ion diode and propagated to a solenoidal lens located near the wall of the target chamber. This magnetic lens focuses the beam on to the pellet located at the center of the target chamber. The temporal shape of the power pulse delivered to the target is controlled by the synchronized firing of the accelerator modules. This paper presents a status of the light-ion beam LMF driver concept. |
