TL;DR: In this paper, the energy content, spectra, and angular patterns of the photon, electron, and ion radiations have all been diagnosed in a number of ways, including several novel (to laser physics) nuclear activation techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, the characteristics of the hot electron source at laser intensities up to 10(to the 20th power) Wcm{sup -2} and the heating produced at depth by hot electrons have been measured.

TL;DR: The first direct measurements of total absorption of short laser pulses on solid targets in the ultrarelativistic regime are reported, showing an enhanced absorption at intensities above 10(20) W/cm(2), reaching 60% for near-normal incidence and 80%-90% for 45 degrees incidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of progress in Fast Ignitiona)
Max Tabak,Daniel Clark,S. P. Hatchett,M. H. Key,Barbara F. Lasinski,R. A. Snavely,Scott Wilks,Richard Town,R.B. Stephens,E. M. Campbell,R. Kodama,K. Mima,Kokichi Tanaka,Stefano Atzeni,Richard R. Freeman +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the ignition requirements and gain curves starting from simple models and then describe how these are modified, as more detailed physics understanding is included, as the critical design issues revolve around two questions: How can the compressed fuel be efficiently assembled? And how can power from the driver be delivered efficient.
