Abstract

Cluster ion beam with energy in the several tens of keV/a.m.u. range are considered as a novel direct driven for a simple fusion pellet made of Deuterium + Tritium fuel surrounded by a Lithium pusher. The driven-pellet interaction is calculated through the hypothesis of maximum multifragmentation followed by highly correlated ion debris motion. One thus gets enhanced stopping and ablation pressure in the hundreds Mbar range. An implosion is then completed in 5 nsec.
