We present the first simulation results of a multi-shell target ignition driven by Z-pinch dynamic hohlraum radiation pulse.The radiation pulse is produced with a special Z-pinch dynamic hohlraum configuration,where the hohlraum is composed of a single metal liner,a low-Z plastic foam,and a high-Z metallic foam.The implosion dynamics of a hohlraum and a multi-shell target are investigated separately by the one-dimensional code MULTI-IFE.When the peak drive current is 50 MA,simulations suggest that an x-ray pulse with nearly constant radiation temperature (~ 310 eV) and a duration about 9 ns can be obtained.A small multi-shell target with a radius of 1.35 mm driven by this radiation pulse is able to achieve volumetric ignition with an energy gain (G) about 6.19,where G is the ratio of the yield to the absorbed radiation.Through this research,we better understand the effects of non-uniformities and hydrodynamics instabilities in Z-pinch dynamic hohlraum.
