The "business model" for the HAPL program:♦ Integrate Science & Technology ♦ Multi-institutional /Multi discipline program♦ Ultimate goal: an attractive electric power plant HAPL Meeting #13, Rochester, LLE Nov 2005 • Voss Scientific • Northrup • Ultramet, Inc • Plasma Processes, Inc • PLEX Corporation • FTF Corporation • Research Scientific Inst • Optiswitch Technology • Industry • General Atomics • Titan/PSD • Schafer Corp • SAIC • Commonwealth Tech • Coherent • Onyx • DEI • Government Labs • NRL • LLNL • SNL • LANL • ORNL • PPPL • Universities • UCSD • Wisconsin • Georgia Tech • UCLA • U Rochester, LLE • UC Santa Barbara • UC Berkeley • UNC • Penn State Electro-optics
Bertie Rene Rene compiled LJ Perkins threat spectra for the baseline (350 MJ) target...and put it in a useful format (Excel spreadsheet): http://aries.ucsd.edu/HAPL/DOCS L.J. Perkins (LLNL) 1D calculation based on initial NRL design: LASER: 2.459 MJ YIELD: 364.7 MJ GAIN: 148.3
Real thing (Spectrum of Ions): 5.67 J/cm2 @ 2 sec 70 kV, 4 P electrons: 4.20 J/cm2 @ 2 sec We are adding a new capability to the HAPL program: An electron beam system that better simulates the thermo-mechanical threat to the IFE first wall. 5.00 4.00 Energy deposition/micron (J/cm2 - m) 3.00 2.00 1.00 0.00 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 Depth (microns) System specs: 1 cm2, 100 Hz, > 107 shotsWill be placed at Oak Ridge Calculations courtesy of: ion deposition: J.
