Times Cited Count：12 Percentile：42.72(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The fast electron propagation in an inverse cone target is investigated computationally and experimentally. Two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation shows that fast electrons with substantial numbers are generated at the outer tip of an inverse cone target irradiated by a short intense laser pulse. These electrons are guided and confined to propagate along the inverse cone wall, forming a large surface current. The experiment qualitatively verifies the guiding and confinement of the strong electron current in the wall surface. The large surface current and induced strong field s are of importance for fast ignition related research.

Times Cited Count：23 Percentile：73.4(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Interactions between a relativistic-intensity laser pulse and a cone-wire target are studied by changing the focusing point of the pulse. The pulse, when focused on the sidewall of the cone, produced superthermal electrons with an energy 
10 MeV, whereas less energetic electrons 
1 MeV were produced by the pulse when focused on the cone tip. Efficient heating of the wire was indicated by significant neutron signals observed when the pulse was focused on the tip. Particle-in-cell simulation results show reduced heating of the wire due to energetic electrons produced by specularly reflected light at the sidewall.

Key to take public acceptance into account on the energy system is how to evaluate and compare quantitatively the merits and the demerits of each energy system from the public viewpoint. For this purpose, a method to evaluate the property of energy technology is developed based on the conjoint analysis technique. Based on the statistical method, utility values for energy abundance, environmental load (i.e. CO
emission), stability of supply, sense of security, and other features as well as economic performance, are estimated from several thousands of choice experiments to more than 1600 respondents volunteered in the study. The basic methodology developed in this study establishes the first step to assess energy technology quantitatively on a common standard, and needs further integration with other factors, such as waste generation other than CO emission.

Times Cited Count：15 Percentile：64.38(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We produced cylindrically imploded plasmas, which have the same density-radius product of the imploded plasma 
R with the compressed core in the fast ignition experiment and demonstrated efficient fast heating of cylindrically imploded plasmas with an ultraintense laser light. The coupling efficiency from the laser to the imploded column was 14%-21%, implying strong collimation of energetic electrons over a distance of 300 micron of the plasma. Particle-in-cell simulation shows confinement of the energetic electrons by self-generated magnetic and electrostatic fields excited along the imploded plasmas, and the efficient fast heating in the compressed region.

Final purpose of the fusion energy development is to utilize the produced fusion power mainly as electric power for the easiness of transmission and conversion. In spite of the type of fusion power plant, large circulating electric power should exist in the plant for the plasma heating, current drive. This paper describes the electric power flow in the nuclear fusion power plants to be built as the DEMO reactor beyond ITER. Here, the necessity of the local energy storage and high efficient converter will be also discussed.

The purpose of the research is to apply the micro capsule technology to the facility maintenance. The micro capsule technology for laser fusion target was developed at the institute of laser engineering Osaka University. We have a plan to apply the fabrication technology of polystyrene micro capsules to the facility maintenance where the magnetic particle testing for complex piping system is investigated.
