Abstract
Heavy ion accelerators and storage rings in the multi-GeV energy regime can be utilized for inertial-confinement fusion. A discussion is presented of design parameters for some systems, based on existing accelerator technology, capable of delivering beams of order 100 terawatt to a pellet of a few millimeters in diameter. A specific conceptual design for an 8 GeV system, using a beam of iodine ions, is described in some detail.
