Obtaining microspherical cryotargets by the method of contact point

Abstract

In this paper we present main parameters of the thermonuclear fuel and relations connecting the thickness of an isothermal homogeneous cryolayer with gaseous microballoon parameters. A model of the temperature field calculation (the azimuthal temperature gradient and the temperature distribution) and the way of shaping it under practical experimental conditions by the contact-point method is presented. The temperature distribution calculation explains the “sag” effect observed in many experiments.
