Simple Analytic Fusion Hot Spot Models for Fusion Reaction History
POSTER
Abstract
The measured fusion reaction history is a combination of the temporal evolution of the fusion hot spot temperature, mass and volume. Depending on the mechanism of evolution in inertial confinement fusion implosions- shocks, compression, convergence, mass ablation, ignition - the evolution of the reaction history varies. We derive and catalog a set of simplified inertial confinement fusion hot spot models with analytic solutions to infer the evolution of the fusion reaction history for each mechanism.
