Agenda for Target Survival Workshop(as part of High Average Power Laser Program Workshop)

Room 1045, Engineering Centers Building, 1550 Engineering DriveUniversity of Wisconsin

4:30-6:00 pmWednesday September 24, 2003

(5) Introduction and workshop goals D. Goodin (GA)R. Raffray (UCSD)

Report on Action Items(5-10) 1. Evaluate the insulating foam target for stability (both

uniformly dense and graded).D. Colombant (NRL)

(5-10) 2. Look up data on a "graded density" foams and see ifthis could be feasible.

D. Schroen (Schafer)

(5-10) 3. Confirm that a uniform DT vapor region thicknessbelow the outer seal (of about 3 m) is acceptable and,in the case of non-uniform heating provide guidanceon how much variation is acceptable between thethickness of the vapor regions on opposite ends of thetarget (i.e. corresponding to the highest and lowestheat fluxes).

D. Colombant (NRL)

(5-10) 4. Evaluate how much temperature drop there is to keepthe insulated target cold (with beta decay heat) anddetermine how beneficial this temperature drop is withrespect to survival estimates.

R. Raffray (UCSD)

(5-10) 5 (a). Evaluate the effect of asymmetric heating in particularon local phase change behavior.

R. Raffray (UCSD)

(5-10) 5 (b). Summarize phase change results from new model forthe thermo-mechanical behavior of the target.

R. Raffray (UCSD)

(5-10) 6. Evaluate whether the insulated target with an outerseal that is permeable could actually be filled and"dryed" of DT in the outer foam.

R. Petzoldt (GA)

(5-10) 7) Measure the compressive strength of DT/foam atrelevant temperatures.

J. Hoffer (LANL)

(5-10) 8) (a). Investigate possibility of layering at lowertemperature (18, 17, 16 K) to provide a means ofaccommodating higher heat fluxes during injection.

J. Hoffer (LANL)

(5-10) 8 (b). Assess the effect of the correspondingly lower gaspressure on the target physics.

D. Colombant (NRL)

(10-15) Discussion and future work R. Raffray (UCSD)D. Goodin (GA)
