Abstract

Laser fusion simulations are carried out for the DT and D‐3He pellets by using a hydrodynamic code including heating from all charged reaction products and neutron. It is shown that, the inclusion of the side reactions and heating from all reactions products in the fuel pellets has an appreciable affect on the plasma temperature, the ICF drive energy requirement, fusion gain and the ignition conditions. The total input energy is decreased, the burn efficiency and total gain are increased compared to the results of simple volume ignition calculations.
