Abstract

X-ray production cross sections measured at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory BEVALAC and elsewhere are interpolated, and are used to estimate the radiative energy deposited in the inner DT shells of single-shelled and the inner Pb shells of double-shelled targets proposed for use in heavy-ion inertial fusion with 50 MeV/amu Pb ions. The X-ray preheating of DT is negligible, but the preheating of inner Pb shells of double-shelled targets may be significant under some circumstances.
