Abstract
The HiPER facility has been proposed recently to demonstrate fast ignition of laser driven inertial fusion targets. According to the present design, HiPER will have a 3ω, multi-beam, multi-ns-pulse of about 250 kJ and a 2ω or 3ω ignition beam delivering 70 kJ in about 15 ps. We present here studies on laser-driven fast-ignitor targets driven by 100-300 kJ compression pulses, followed by 70-100 kJ ignition pulses.
