Abstract :
Double Liner (DL) concept to utilize Pulsed Power for investigations on Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) and High Energy Density Physics is proposed. In this scheme external cylindrical plasma shell (liner) magnetically imploded in the generator diode collides with the internal one. Thermal X-ray radiation brought about by a high-velocity shock wave penetrates into the internal liner cavity and irradiates a spherical target. Investigations with ANGARA-S generator were concentrated on a comprehensive study of physical processes and possibility of short radiation pulse generation. Soft X-ray radiation intensity up to 3 TW/cm2 with 3 ns rise time was obtained. As theoretical model predicts for the generator current higher than 15MA the radiation intensity would be close to an ignition threshold and magnetized plasma instabilities be suppressed. This paper reports on the concept, theoretical and experimental results.
