Fuel gain exceeding unity in an inertially confined fusion implosion

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the achievement of fusion fuel gains exceeding unity on the US National Ignition Facility using a high-foot implosion method, which is a manipulation of the laser pulse shape in a way that reduces instability in the implosion.

TL;DR: In this paper, a low-Z capsule filled with deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel via laser indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion and demonstrate fusion ignition and propagating thermonuclear burn with a net energy gain of ∼5-10 (fusion yield/input laser energy).
