Abstract

The possibility of utilizing magnetic intervention (MI) in a laser-driven inertial fusion energy (IFE) dry wall chamber is being considered to steer away the ions from the chamber wall to more readily accessible and replaceable dump regions at the equator and poles. This paper summarizes the current status of this study, describing the overall MI chamber core configuration and layout and highlighting the key design and analysis results for the different components.
