Abstract

The objective of this study was by use of mathematical simulation methods to create an opportunity of a thermonuclear target (k_f) gain of the order of 1 at the 1 MJ laser energy level. The calculations were performed in two codes with a comparison of their results. It is shown that in the direct drive mode it is possible to obtain a neuron yield an order higher than that obtained in experiments on the NIF (LLNL, the United States) installation in the indirect drive target.
