1 The High Average Power Laser Program Coordinated, focussed, multi-lab effort to develop a rep-rate laser facility for Inertial Fusion Energy and DP needs Coordinated, focussed, multi-lab effort to develop a rep-rate laser facility for Inertial Fusion Energy and DP needs Based on direct drive with lasers Builds upon recent DP advances in lasers and target design

2 6. Chambers WISCONSIN: Dry wall, integrate design LLNL: Other walls, neutron damage UCSD: Chamber clearing, materials SNL et al: Materials resp x-rays / ions The Program Elements 2. Target Fabrication GA: Fab, charac, mass production LANL: Adv mat, target fab, DT inv SCHAFER: Foams, cryo layering 1. Direct Drive Target Designs NRL- target design LLNL: Yield spectrum WISCONSIN: spectrum 3. Target Injection GA: Injector, Injection & Tracking LANL: Materials prop, thermal resp. Target factory 5. Final Optics LLNL: X-rays, ions, neutrons UCSD: Laser, debris mitigation LANL: Neutrons 4. Lasers NRL: KrF LLNL: DPSSL

3 Program Goals Intermediate Term (five years) R & D to develop required science & technology ( Mission Oriented Science) Long term (ten years) Build the Integrated Research Experiment 1. Cryogenic, layered target can be injected into a fusion chamber environment. And survive. 2. A high energy laser beam line (e.g. 50-100 kJ) can be steered to hit the target. 3. System operates with the efficiency, durability, uniformity and & precision required for Inertial Fusion Energy.

5 Objectives of this meeting Present Program Plan for FY 2001….. A. Deliverables and statement of work B. Technical discussion of the program plan 1. Ensure we are all working in an integrated coordinated manner 2. Update on latest advances

6 Five Year Plan Blueprint for ourselves---The Laser IFE Community Guide & focus our work Define the goal (IRE and Laser Fusion Energy) Define a realistic path to get there Make sure we keep on that path Check points & Milestones Mechanism to accommodate new technical advances This will be an iterative process Coordinate with OFES efforts in Laser Fusion Energy

7 Random (and unrelated) Comments Publish your work Experimental verification is important! Regular (quarterly) meetings of this group
