Abstract

The so-called fast ignition mode is one way to ignite the thermonuclear fuel in systems of inertial fusion and decrease of the necessary energy of the driver. In the present work the second stage of the process—the heating, the thermonuclear burning initiation under the influence of a powerful ion pulse, and distribution of the burning all over the rest of the cylindrical system—is studied. The main purpose of the presented calculations was to determine the threshold of the fast ignition of the cylindrical DT cord by a heavy ion beam.
