Journal ArticleDOI
Shock Ignition of Thermonuclear Fuel with High Areal Density
TL;DR: In this article, Zhou and Betti presented a method to assemble and ignite thermonuclear fuel by imploding massive cryogenic shells with a low implosion velocity and on a low adiabat leading to fuel assemblies with large areal densities.

Shock Ignition of Thermonuclear Fuel with High Areal Density
Riccardo Betti,Karen S. Anderson,C. D. Zhou,J. Perkins,Max Tabak,P. Bedrossian,K.N. LaFortune +6 more
TL;DR: A novel method by C. Zhou and R. Betti to assemble and ignite thermonuclear fuel is presented, which features a hot-spot pressure greater than the surrounding dense fuel pressure and requires a lower energy threshold than the conventional isobaric one.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initial experiments on the shock-ignition inertial confinement fusion concept
Wolfgang Theobald,Riccardo Betti,Christian Stoeckl,K. S. Anderson,J. A. Delettrez,V. Yu. Glebov,Valeri Goncharov,F. J. Marshall,Drew N. Maywar,R. L. McCrory,David D. Meyerhofer,P. B. Radha,T. C.

TL;DR: Boehly et al. as discussed by the authors used 40-μm-thick, 0.9mm-diam, warm surrogate plastic shells filled with deuterium gas.

TL;DR: In direct-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICFusion), the "ignitor" shock can be launched by a power spike at the end of the laser pulse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gain curves for direct-drive fast ignition at densities around 300 g/cc
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the maximum gain attainable from fast-ignited direct-drive implosions based on realistic target designs and laser pulses, one-dimensional simulations of the implosion, and two dimensional simulations of ignition by a collimated electron beam and burn propagation.
