TL;DR: In this paper, the effects on fuel compression of low-mode irradiation non-uniformities have been studied by 2D simulations and an analytical model, and the scaling of the electron beam energy required for ignition (versus electron kinetic energy) has been determined by two-dimensional fluid simulations including a 3D Monte Carlo treatment of relativistic electrons.

TL;DR: In this article, point projection proton imaging was used for electric field detection in laser-irradiated targets and plasmas, and the first measurements of transient electric fields in high-intensity laser-plasma interactions have been obtained with this technique.

TL;DR: In this article, the sensitivity of a shock-ignited inertial fusion target to variation of parameters and errors or imperfections is studied by means of one-dimensional and two-dimensional numerical simulations.

TL;DR: In this article, a CH-foam ablator filled with cryogenic deuterium-tritium is used for direct-drive target design in the context of the French Laser-Mfusion research program, and the hydrodynamic stability of the implosion is investigated at the ablation front and the hot-spot surface.

TL;DR: The development of fred is reported on, a new MC simulation platform for treatment planning in ion beam therapy that can transport particles through a 3D voxel grid using a class II MC algorithm, and the most refined module is the transport of proton beams in water.
