Free-Electron Laser-Fusion Drivers for Inertial-Confinement Fusion.

摘要

The use of tapered wiggler, free electron lasers as drivers for inertial confinement fusion requires an electron beam source which must meet specific and stringent requirements. The characteristics of ICF targets are combined with those of the free electron laser to obtain a general set of requirements and to define parameter tradeoffs. In particular, low beam emittance is essential to the system. A conceptual point design of an ICF-FEL driver is discussed. (ERA citation 06:021443)
