Abstract:
The Fast Ignition Realization Experiment (FIREX) project was launched at the Institute of Laser Engineering (ILE), Osaka University. Key technologies are developments of high-energy lasers and solid fuel targets, also called a cryogenic target. ILE and the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) started a cooperative study on the target in 2003. It has a unique appearance designed for the project. To realize its specification, a foam shell method is applied as a fuel layering technique. Subjects of the target development are fabrication of a foam shell, assembling the foam shell and other parts to form the target, and fuel layering. In this paper, accomplishments and some remaining issues of the target development are described.
