Abstract
The use of Cluster-ion beams (CIB) as alternative drivers in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) promises high specific energy deposition due to the low cluster velocities and hence rather short ranges in the tar get. Correlation effects related to the vicinity of the fragment ions can further enhance the energy loss compared with individual ions. We take into account this correlated stopping and the Coulomb explosion o f cluster ions to determine their specific energy deposition in plasma s. The enhancement of energy deposition due to correlation effects dep ends strongly on the target conditions and is of the order of some per cent. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
