TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of the ignition boundaries in the ρR,T parametric plane is presented, and it is shown that the fuel magnetization allows a significant reduction of the α ignition threshold only when the condition BR 6 × 105G cm is fulfilled (B is the magnetic field strength and R is the fuel radius).

TL;DR: In this article, a self-similar solution was proposed to describe nonrelativistic expansion of a finite plasma mass into vacuum with a full account of charge separation effects, and the solution exists only when the ratio Λ=R∕λD of the plasma scale length R to the Debye length λD is invariant, i.e., under the condition Te(t)∝[ne(t)]1−2∕ν, where ν=1, 2, and 3 corresponds, respectively, to the planar, cylind

TL;DR: In this paper, the reflection of the X-rays in K lines of heavy elements from a cold surface is calculated, and the radiative transfer is treated rigorously, with the albedo in k lines expressed in terms of the H-function for isotropic scattering.

TL;DR: The precision of the measurements allows to disprove several standard models for the stopping power for beam velocities typically encountered in inertial fusion, and support theories that include a detailed treatment of strong ion-electron collisions.
