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: A review of the current state of the art in inertial confinement fusion research can be found in this paper, where the authors describe the underlying physical principles of fusion energy production from controlled nuclear fusion reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-adiabat high-foot inertial confinement fusion implosion experiments on the national ignition facility.
H.-S. Park,Omar Hurricane,D. A. Callahan,Daniel Casey,E. L. Dewald,T. R. Dittrich,Tilo Döppner,D. E. Hinkel,L. F. Berzak Hopkins,S. Le Pape,T. Ma,P. K. Patel,Bruce Remington,Harry Robey,Jay D. Salmonson,John Kline +15 more
TL;DR: This Letter reports on a series of high-adiabat implosions of cryogenic layered deuterium-tritium (DT) capsules indirectly driven by a "high-foot" laser drive pulse at the National Ignition Facility.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Time dependent low mode asymmetries that limited further progress of implosions have now been controlled, leading to an increased compression of the hot spot, resulting in hot spot areal density and stagnation pressure never before achieved in a laboratory experiment.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors achieved a burning-plasma state in the laboratory using a strategy to increase the spatial scale of the capsule through two different implosion concepts and showed that fusion self-heating in excess of the mechanical work injected into the implosions, satisfying several burningplasma metrics.
