  1. 94. Advantages of the Single Pass RF Driver for Pellet Implosion and Ignition
    Dr Robert Burke (Fusion Power Corporation)

    Poster
    Robert Burke Fusion Power Corporation Santa Cruz, CA 95060 The discovery of the heavy ion driver in 1975 was that the technology of high-energy particle accelerators already had the tools to design ICF drivers that meet all the requirements for fusion power production. The hitch was that heavy ion drivers would excel at driving fusion power plants, but they would not lend themselves to...

    K. P. Driver and B. Militzer University of California, Berkeley Berkeley, California, 94720, USA We develop an all-electron path integral Monte Carlo method with free-particle nodes for warm dense matter and apply it to water and carbon plasmas. We thereby extend path integral Monte Carlo studies beyond hydrogen and helium to elements with core electrons. Path integral Monte Carlo...

  4. 91. Can FPC's Single-Pass RF Driver Produce a 50 µm Spot Size for Fast Ignition?

    Poster
    Alex Burke Fusion Power Corporation / SAIC Palo Alto, CA 94306 The design of the Single-Pass RF Driver (SPRFD) is similar to four HIDIF-type drivers in parallel. A significant difference in SPRFD is the absence of HIDIF's multi-turn injection storage rings, thereby avoiding the ~10-fold dilution of transverse phase space that occurs during this process. Instead, SPRFD uses...
