Abstract

One of the techniques to produce a uniform solid fuel layer for the Fast Ignition Realization EXperiment (FIREX) target is applying a solid fuel redistribution process. During the redistribution process, temperature control is essential for the FIREX target, because a cone guide, also called a conical laser guide, causes temperature non-uniformity. To minimize its temperature distribution, one possible procedure is temperature control at the cone guide. A radiation plate for indirect temperature control, installed next to the cone guide, is proposed. As the heat input to the radiation plate was varied, the temperature profile of the target was calculated using the ANSYS code. The optimal heat input was evaluated. The feasibility of using a radiation plate is discussed.
