Abstract :
Analyses of the diode-focusing, channel-transport, beam-bunching and pellet-overlap constraints for a modular light-ion ICF system have been performed. Results for the overall system favor a few super-power modules utilizing z-discharge transport channels with diameters several-times that of the pellet. Each channel is terminated in a magnetic-focusing element which brings the beam to pellet dimensions. Configurations such as these relax limitations associated with diode focusability and channel MHD.
