Abstract

We propose an approach to Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) that could potentially lead to high levels of thermonuclear burn in the laboratory. The proposal is based upon the concept of pulsed power X ray driven hohlraums together with indirectly-driven ICF capsule designs that are scaled up in size from those typically used in laser indirect-drive ICF experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). We propose that near-term NIF experiments can be used to explore some important aspects of the X ray driven hohlraum ICF concept.
