Abstract
The fast ignition is an epoch-making scheme for inertial
fusion energy. In this scheme, the formation of high-density DT fuel is one
of the key issues which must be solved, because the implosion dynamics of
the fast ignition target which is non-spherical with conical target is quite
different from that of the conventional central ignition target. Some
previous works showed the possibility of formation of high density core. But
the effects of hydrodynamic instability and DT cryogenic target were not
discussed in those works. In this paper, we simulate the whole implosion
dynamics of a perturbed non-spherical DT cryogenic target, and evaluate the
possibility of formation of high-density DT fuel using 2-D integrated
implosion code PINOCO.
