TL;DR: The direct-drive, laser-based approach to inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is reviewed from its inception following the demonstration of the first laser to its implementation on the present generation of high-power lasers as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inertial-confinement fusion with lasers
Riccardo Betti,Omar Hurricane +1 more
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
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
Growth rates of the ablative Rayleigh–Taylor instability in inertial confinement fusion
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple procedure is developed to determine the Froude number Fr, the effective power index for thermal conduction ν, the ablation-front thickness L0, the Ablation velocity Va, and the acceleration g of laser-accelerated ablation fronts.
