Abstract

Target alignment technology is one of the most essential technologies in inertial confinement fusion facilities, and is directly related to the results of high-energy physics experiments. In this study, we examine the error in the target alignment scheme, classify the error based on the source and performance, minimize the error through redundant measurement methods (target fusion and sensor fusion), and improve the precision of the target alignment scheme. By integrating these methods, the alignment error of the target is considerably improved and the position uncertainty is reduced.
