Abstract
An analytic model of ion beam driven hohlraums is presented which is u sed to determine the optimal hohlraum design parameters. It is shown t hat the radiation intensity within the hohlraum can exceed the average ion intensity driving the hohlraum. This ''greenhouse effect'' signif icantly lowers ion beam intensity requirements for driving a fusion mi croexplosion.
