  • Abstract
    Large polystyrene shells whose dimensions are close to those for a future laser fusion reactor were successfully fabricated by means of conventional density matched emulsion method. Although initial emulsions were nonuniform due to bad density matching, fabricated shells had uniformity >98%. In this proceeding, a model for the centering process, which is important to make uniform shells, is presented
