Abstract
A preliminary design for a HIDIF target is presented. The one-dimensio nal analysis of an igniting NIF-Beryllium-DT capsule is matched to 2-D heavy-ion-driven-hohlraum numerical simulations. Pulse shaping, compr ession symmetry and other features are optimized to get ignition condi tions with minimum energy requirements. A Rayleigh-Taylor instability capsule analysis is also performed.
