摘要：
A target assembly for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) achieving a high yield energy output. This high gain target has a low Z fuel/shell region which is lined with a thin layer of a high Z material on the inner surface and then surrounds a low density hotspot region. Adding a thin high Z liner to the inside of the low Z fuel shell has many advantages. As the shell region compresses and heats the central low density hotspot region, the radiation will be contained, and unable to leave the core. This will lower the ignition temperature of target considerably (around a factor of 4). A high Z shell liner may also increase the burn fraction of the fuel as well as increase the areal density (ρr) of the hotspot.
