Particle swarm optimization algorithm for ignition of hydrogen isotopes (deuterium-tritium) pellets

Recent improvements on high power lasers have made access to dense and hot plasmas possible realizing the inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Results from Osaka University experiments found that higher energy gains are reachable through ideal adiabatic shock-free volume ignition. Laser pulses limit the range of laser input energy. Thus, it becomes necessary to make efficient use of available energy to obtain the highest gain. The present paper aims to investigate the attainment of highest gain for D-T fuel using this energy with iteration model. It is shown that the maximum gain of 1.36 × 106 is obtained only at input energy of 7.27 × 1010 J, volume of 0.586 cm3 and 8133times of solid state density.
