Abstract
High aspect ratio pellet targets are ablatively imploded with twelve green beams of GEKKO XII. Multiplexing of shock waves with a quasi-tailored pulse is performed successfully in DT fuel compression. The highest neutron yield achieved is 1.25 × 1012 per shot. The development of new diagnostics such as neutron activation and secondary fusion reaction diagnostics is also presented.Keywords
