Abstract :
Layered pellets of deuterium-rich advanced fuels including D-D and p-11B are under study to use with high-energy ion beam implosions. Using uranium ions, various input energies ranging from 5 to ~ 500 MJ are considered for the D-T seeded D-D and p-11B layered pellets. The seed is designed to achieve a matchhead effect via D-T ignition propagation.
