Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) has existed as a field of study since the 1970s, but the field
was born out of the Cold War. In the decades since the 1960s, pioneering research …

Abstract Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instabilities are well-known
pathways towards turbulent mixing layers, in many cases characterized by significant mass …

For more than half a century, researchers around the world have been engaged in attempts
to achieve fusion ignition as a proof of principle of various fusion concepts. Following the …

In this work we present the design of the first controlled fusion laboratory experiment to
