46th International Workshop on High Energy Density Physics with Intense Ion and Laser Beams

The purpose of the presentation is to introduce Marvel Fusion’s high-gain fusion target philosophy. The company’s high-gain target concept incorporates a novel fast-ignition element capable of delivering up to multiple megajoules of fast-ignition energy into dense fuel. In addition, the concept includes a mild compression element that can be validated at existing implosion facilities. Combined, these elements are designed to exceed the required fusion triple product for hotspot igition and enable, in principle, unlimited fusion gain. The target design promises to be robust and simple.
