Abstract

The symmetry of heavy ion driven inertial confinement fusion targets is investigated with a two-dimensional Eulerian hydrodynamic code. The importance of the beam geometry is studied. The HIBALL design in its present form seems to inhibit a spherical implosion of the target. It is shown that the beam angle in the HIBALL geometry should be about 35 degrees.
