Review and Status of Antares
Abstract
The laser fusion effort at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) has evolved from early experiments with an electron-beam-controlled large-aperture CO2 laser to the massive engineering task of designing and building a 100-kJ laser fusion machine. The design of Antares is based on the design of its predecessors. It builds upon technology which was developed or advanced during the design and construction of earlier machines. On one hand it is dictated by the requirements for the output, i.e., energy on target; on the other hand it is limited by existing technology or reasonable extensions thereof. Reliability and maintainability play important roles in the design considerations.
