⁶LiD compound ion source interact with fusion DT plasma

A method was presented that a compound ion source of LiD was used to heat hot spot produced in ICF experiment. The interacting process between LiD ion and DT plasma was analysed and the heating parameter was calculated by Monte-Carlo method under ICF experimental condition of 500 g/cm3 in density and 100 m in diameter. The results show that the smallest incident energy is 4.65, 122.83 and 368.5 MeV, respectively, and the smallest electronic current is 1.15107 A, and the deposition time is 0.07 ps, 0.49 ps and 0.64 ps for electron, deuterium ion and lithium ion, deuterium ion and lithium ion, respectively. The largest deposition energy for deuterium ion in hotspot is 34.43 MeV. Compared to the methods in present particle beam projects, the compound ion source could be better for hot spot heat.
