Abstract

In Russia, the Iskra-6 laser facility with pulse energy of up to 300 kJ and nanosecond pulse duration was being planned (Kirillov et al., 2000). The possibility of thermonuclear ignition with this laser energy was a goal of the theoretical investigation at RFNC-VNIITF. Results of one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) modeling of indirect-driven targets for ignition on the Iskra-6 laser facility are presented. Sensitivity of cryogenic single-shell and non-cryogenic double-shell targets to radiation flux non-uniformity and shells roughness are studied.
