TARGET FOR GENERATING COMPRESSED STATE AND NUCLEAR FUSION TARGET

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique capable of further compressing a medium as compared with a conventional technique.SOLUTION: A compressed state generating target 1A includes a shock wave propagation medium 10 for propagating a shock wave generated by shock applied to a predetermined surface 10a and a charging area formation part 20 for forming a charging area 30 into which the shock wave propagation medium 10 is charged. The charging area 30 has a tapered part tapered in a direction for applying shock to the predetermined surface 10a, and the tapered part has a wall surface 311 curved toward the inside.
