[LP1.104] Simple Estimation of Material Thickness Ablated by Intense X-ray with Spectrum and Energy Level of Sandia Pinch Source

Koichi Kasuya, Yosuke Kinoshita (Department of Energy Sciences, Tokyo Institute of Technology)

Before we design advanced version of IFE reactors, lots of technical data must be gathered. One of the important data is the thickness of reactor chamber wall material by intense X-ray which is produced by IFE target implosion. So that, we showed the results of the ablated thicknes by X-ray associated with a typical laser target implosion in the former meeting. Only the numerical estimation was possible for the high total energy of X-ray similar to the reactor level. On the contrary, we present here the estimation of the ablated thickness by X-ray associated with typical wire-arrayed pinch discharges at Sandia National Laboratories. The energy spectrum obeys the Plank's law. Various temperature of the black body radiaion and various total energy of X-ray were assumed which were very realistic with the recent experiments at Sandia National Laboratories. The first candidate material was solid carbon, and the surface ablation thickness was within the micron range with the total X-ray energy within the MJ range. Our numerical results will be compared with the results of our scheduled future experiments under the US-Japan collaboration Project.
