Plasma-wall interaction in laser inertial fusion reactors: novel proposals for radiation tests of first wall materials
J. Alvarez Ruiz, A. Rivera, K. Mima +8
Dry-wall laser inertial fusion (LIF) chambers will have to withstand strong bursts of fast charged particles which will deposit tens of kJ m and implant more than 10…
Materials research for hiper laser fusion facilities: chamber wall, structural material and final optics
J. Alvarez, A. Rivera, R. Gonzalez-Arrabal +3
The European HiPER project aims to demonstrate commercial viability of inertial fusion energy within the following two decades. This goal requires an extensive Research & Developme…
Thermo-mechanical behaviour of a tungsten first wall in HiPER laser fusion scenarios
D Garoz, A. R. Páramo, A Rivera +2
The behaviour of a tungsten first wall is studied under the irradiation conditions predicted for the different operation scenarios of the European Laser fusion project HiPER, which…
Silica final lens performance in laser fusion facilities: HiPER and LIFE
David Garoz, R. González-Arrabal, R. Juárez +4
Nowadays, the projects LIFE (Laser Inertial Fusion Energy) in USA and HiPER (High Power Laser Energy Research) in Europe are the most advanced ones to demonstrate laser fusion ener…
