Abstract

The paper reports on a method of producing spherical targets with a light ablator layer having a density of 0·2g/cm3 and a thickness 10μm. This method for obtaining polystyrene microballoons and polyethylene microballs works for hemispheres made from plastics and metals with diameters from 600 to 1200 μm and wall thicknesses from 10 to 50 μm. It also provides a way to assemble cascade targets.
