For more than half a century, researchers around the world have been engaged in attempts
to achieve fusion ignition as a proof of principle of various fusion concepts. Following the …

Strong magnetic fields play an important role in high-energy-density plasma. Several
approaches have been investigated within a decade to access the strong magnetic field …

The study of relativistic electron–positron pair plasmas is both of fundamental physics
interest and important to understand the processes that shape the magnetic field dynamics …

This paper investigates the impact of an applied magnetic field on the yield and hot-spot
temperature of inertial confinement fusion implosions. A scaling of temperature amplification …

The use of magnetic fields to improve the performance of hohlraum-driven implosions on the
National Ignition Facility (NIF) is discussed. The focus is on magnetically insulated inertial …

Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is a possible path of fusion technology for fusion ignition,
but during the implosion of a magnetized plasma target by compression, the magnetic …

Reduced models for approximating the impact of kinetic electron behavior on the transport of
thermal energy and magnetic field are investigated. The thermal flux limiter has improved …

Magnetic fields spontaneously grow at unstable interfaces around hot-spot asymmetries
during inertial confinement fusion implosions. Although difficult to measure, theoretical …

Three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations are able to model the generation of
disk-shaped plasma, driven by laser ablation from a current-carrying rod in a pulsed-power …

The directional energy spectrum of neutrons generated from the in-flight fusion reaction of 1-
MeV tritons contains information about the hot-spot symmetry. The National Ignition Facility …
