Exploding Pusher Targets for the SHIVA Laser System. ... We have designed the first targets for the 20 TW SHIVA laser system. They are simple glass micro-balloons, approximately 300 [micrometers] in diameter and 2 [micrometers] thick, filled with D-T gas. Using Lasnex, whose model physics was utilized successfully for ARGUS targets, we optimize for both gain and yield. The target behaves as an exploding pusher. 1, record 1, English, - exploding%20pusher

Les expériences publiées [sur la fusion nucléaire par laser] ont en effet porté sur des microsphères de verre de petite taille [...] remplie d’un mélange homogène de gaz D-T à quelques dizaines d’atmosphères. Le faisceau laser irradie uniformément le ballon et l'élève à une température de l'ordre du keV : le verre explose alors sur place en comprimant le gaz intérieur [...]. Ce type de compression est appelé pousseur explosé [...]. Le gaz intérieur est alors chauffé par une onde de choc convergente qui interdit de parvenir au domaine de supercompression. Le mélange D-T est toutefois suffisamment dense et chaud pour qu'il s’y produise des réactions thermonucléaires. 2, record 1, French, - pousseur%20explos%C3%A9
