Since the seminal paper of Nuckolls triggering the quest of inertial confinement fusion (ICF)
with lasers, hydrodynamic instabilities have been recognized as one of the principal hurdles …

Fast ignition (FI) inertial confinement fusion is a variant of inertial fusion in which DT fuel is
first compressed to high density and then ignited by a relativistic electron beam generated …

The P3 installation of ELI-Beamlines is conceived as an experimental platform for multiple
high-repetition-rate laser beams spanning time scales from femtosecond via picosecond to …

We report for the first time on full 2-D radiation-hydrodynamic implosion simulations that
explore the impact of highly compressed imposed magnetic fields on the ignition and burn of …

We examine the impact of several factors on electron acceleration by a laser pulse and the
resulting electron energy gain. Specifically, we consider the role played by:(1) static …

This Letter presents the first observation on how a strong, 500 kG, externally applied B field
increases the mode-two asymmetry in shock-heated inertial fusion implosions. Using a …

The quest for fundamental limitations on physical processes is old and venerable. Here, we
investigate the maximum possible power, or luminosity, that any event can produce. We …

We describe an experiment performed at the LULI laser facility using an advanced
radiographic technique that allowed obtaining 2D, spatially resolved images of a shocked …

Magnetic field generation by laser-driven coils is a promising way of magnetizing plasma in
laboratory high-energy-density plasma experiments. A typical configuration consists of two …

A square flattop beam is a fundamental shape that is in high demand in various applications,
such as ultra-high-power lasers, uniform surface processing and medical engineering. In …
