The 1990 National Academy of Science final report of its review of the Inertial Confinement
Fusion Program recommended completion of a series of target physics objectives on the 10 …

Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is an approach to fusion that relies on the inertia of the fuel
mass to provide confinement. To achieve conditions under which inertial confinement is …

For the past four decades, scientists throughout the world have pursued the dream of
controlled thermonuclear fusion. The attraction of this goal is the enormous energy that is …

The radiation hydrodynamics in laser-produced high-energy-density plasmas has been
successfully simulated by means of the MULTI hydrocode. It is used in combination with the …

We demonstrate the hohlraum radiation temperature and symmetry required for ignition-
scale inertial confinement fusion capsule implosions. Cryogenic gas-filled hohlraums with …

The first inertial confinement fusion implosion experiments with equimolar deuterium-tritium
thermonuclear fuel have been performed on the National Ignition Facility. These …

For the simulation of laser‐created plasmas, hydrodynamic codes need an atomic physics
package, for both the equation of state and the optical properties, which does not use the …

The physics of indirectly driven targets for inertial confinement fusion—so-called hohlraum
targets—is investigated. Scaling relations for radiation heat waves in high-Z and low-Z …

Radiation transport through high-opacity materials can be described using the Rosseland
mean opacity of the medium, which is dominated by low-opacity regions in the frequency …

Diffusive supersonic radiation transport, where the ratio of the diffusive radiation front
velocity to the material sound speed> 2 has been studied in experiments on low density (40 …
