7 - Targets for special applications (medical, industrial, controlled fusion)
Invited
Targets are critical elements of wide-ranging mission-oriented fusion and basic high energy density science research efforts that use ultra-high power lasers like the one located at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The Target Fabrication program at Lawrence Livermore National Lab is a core competency where multiple disciplines such as precision and materials integration engineering and...

The glow discharge polymer (GDP) shells are used as the ablators for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) targets. In order to avoid the preheat of DT by high energetic X rays, the shells have to be doped with a small quantity of high Z material. The doped GDP shells are fabricated exclusively by plasma polymerization technology, which is well known today and largely used. But the shells for...

Fusion promises to offer a clean, inexpensive, efficient, and abundant source of energy for future. As we all know, Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) is an alternative way to achieve ignition and utilize fusion energy. In ICF experiment, high-Z materials are needed to improve the implosion and lead to more energy release, or yield, from the target. Among different high-Z materials, as a...
