Abstract

An analytic model of ion beam driven hohlraums is presented which is used to determine the optimal hohlraum design parameters. It is shown that the radiation intensity within the hohlraum can exceed the average ion intensity driving the hohlraum. This “greenhouse effect” significantly lowers ion beam intensity requirements for driving a fusion microexplosion.
