| Popis: | We have proposed a dynamic smoothing method based on a phase control to smooth plasma non-uniformities in perturbed plasma systems. In this paper, the dynamic smoothing method is applied to a spherical direct-driven fuel target implosion in heavy ion inertial confinement fusion. We found that the wobbling motion of each heavy ion beam (HIB) axis induces a phase-controlled HIBs energy deposition, and consequently the phase-controlled implosion acceleration is realized, so that the HIBs irradiation non-uniformity is successfully smoothed. HIB accelerators provide a well-established performance to oscillate a HIB axis at a high frequency. In inertial confinement fusion, a fuel implosion uniformity is essentially significant for achieving the DT fuel compression and for releasing the fusion energy, and the non-uniformity of the implosion acceleration should be less than a few %. The results in this paper demonstrate that the wobbling HIBs would provide an improvement in the fuel target implosion uniformity. |
