grad B Focusing and Deposition of Relativistic Electron Beams

Grad B transport, bunching, and focusing of relativistic electron beams give power deposition levels which may provide the absorbed fluxes of 100 TW/sq cm believed necessary to drive breakeven inertial-confinement-fusion targets. Predicted depositions in excess of 100 (TW/g)/MA are presented. These...

Description
Summary:Grad B transport, bunching, and focusing of relativistic electron beams give power deposition levels which may provide the absorbed fluxes of 100 TW/sq cm believed necessary to drive breakeven inertial-confinement-fusion targets. Predicted depositions in excess of 100 (TW/g)/MA are presented. These levels are up to two orders of magnitude higher than those previously calculated and appear to meet the absorbed-flux requirement.
