Advanced Target Design for the FIREX-I Project

(Received 17 February 2009 /Accepted 25 May 2009)Cryogenically cooled foam shells with deuterium and tritium fuels are expected to be utilized in the fastignition realization experiment project of ILE, Osaka University, to demonstrate efficient heating of properlycompressed fuel plasmas. These targets consist of a foam shell with solid fueland a conical light guide foradditional heating with an ultra-high intensity laser beam, in accordance with previous preliminary experiments[R.
