Development of Hybrid Transport Systems for Delivering Cryogenic Fusion Targets Into Focus of High-Power Laser System or ICF Reactor

Abstract

We present our results on utilization of the quantum levitation effect for HTSC samples (superconducting ceramics based on YBa2Cu3O7−x and SuperOx J-PI-12-20Ag-20Cu superconducting tapes) in magnetic fields of different configurations with respect to developing special carriers for hybrid systems of noncontact transport of cryogenic targets in ICF experiments. We implement the obtained results for developing and engineering of “HTSC-MAGLEV” delivery system to minimize the risk for damage of the fuel layer at the target acceleration and during target injection into the center of the ICF reaction chamber.
