Abstract

The focusing performance of a double magnetic lens and the delay in the arrival time at the shot point are presented for a Pb-coated superconducting inertial fusion energy target injection system. Magnets placed symmetrically in the injection path adjust the target trajectory and focus it toward the designated point. When the target passes through the magnetic lens, it receives deceleration and acceleration forces, producing a delay in the arrival time.
