Abstract

The conditions for an experiment are being discussed in which the hydrodynamic efficiency could be measured and an optimum thermonuclear target design worked out that could be performed on a single-channel accelerator facility producing a 209Bi ion beam of ∼100 GeV per nucleus. As numerical simulations show, the expected values of the hydrodynamic efficiency are 5–10%, while the optimization of the target-beam system could be performed by compressing D-T gas in a conical cavity and registering some 109-1011 neutrons per shot.
