Summary
Concern over hydrodynamic instabilities in small fusion targets has prompted numerous studies of instability onset, but few studies of the consequences. Here for the first time a mechanism is identified which tends to suppress ignition in small fusion targets. The mechanism is that of radiative energy loss into the increased area of a perturbed surface. Quantitative assessment of this mechanism is provided by modeling it in a 12 parameter burn code. It is contrasted with two other mechanisms and shown to be a significantly more serious consideration for DT ignition in the Wheeler mode.
