TL;DR: In this paper, a low-Z capsule filled with deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel via laser indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion and demonstrate fusion ignition and propagating thermonuclear burn with a net energy gain of ∼5-10 (fusion yield/input laser energy).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A new full-scale, three-dimensional quantitative model has been developed for crossed-beam energy transfer, allowing calculations of the propagation and coupling of multiple laser beams and their associated plasma waves in ignition hohlraums.
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.
