Description
Compression and heating of solid spherical target under the strong external magnetic field is studied using fast ignition integrated interconnecting simulation system (FI^3). The simulation results show that (i) a compression of a solid sphere target is stable, and it is possible to achieve a high areal density core plasma. Using GXII scale laser, it will be 60-80 mg/cm^2. (ii) The magnetic mirror ratio is less than 4 which does not reflect most of the hot electrons for heating core, and (iii) magnetic beam guiding enhances the heating efficiency and neutron yield which is enhanced to 300-fold compared with the case without magnetic field.
