TL;DR: Miller et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a point design for the initial ignition campaign on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) using D-T fusion fuel in an ablator of either CH with Ge doping, or Be with Cu.

S. A. Slutz,Mark Herrmann,Roger Alan Vesey,Adam B Sefkow,D.B. Sinars,Dean C. Rovang,Kyle Peterson,M. E. Cuneo +7 more
TL;DR: Lindemuth et al. as discussed by the authors showed that significant fusion yields can be obtained by pulsed-power-driven implosions of cylindrical metal liners onto magnetized (>10T) and preheated (100-500 eV) deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel.

TL;DR: This Letter presents results from the first fully integrated experiments testing the magnetized liner inertial fusion concept, indicating significant fuel magnetization given that the estimated radial areal density of the plasma is only 2 mg = cm(2).

TL;DR: The Z accelerator at Sandia National Laboratories delivers ∼20MA load currents to create high magnetic fields (>1000T) and high pressures (megabar to gigabar) in a z-pinch configuration, the magnetic pressure supersonically implodes a plasma created from a cylindrical wire array, which at stagnation typically generates a plasma with energy densities of about 10MJ∕cm3 and temperatures >1keV at 0.1% of solid density as mentioned in this paper.
