Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) has existed as a field of study since the 1970s, but the field
was born out of the Cold War. In the decades since the 1960s, pioneering research …

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 …

The National Ignition Campaign (NIC) was a multi-institution effort established under the
National Nuclear Security Administration of DOE in 2005, prior to the completion of the …

ABSTRACT HYBRID-E is an inertial confinement fusion implosion design that increases
energy coupled to the hot spot by increasing the capsule scale in cylindrical hohlraums …

In order to achieve the several hundred Gbar stagnation pressures necessary for inertial
confinement fusion ignition, implosion experiments on the National Ignition Facility (NIF)[EI …

Deuterium-tritium inertial confinement fusion implosion experiments on the National Ignition
Facility have demonstrated yields ranging from 0.8 to 7× 10 14, and record fuel areal …

The “High-Foot” platform manipulates the laser pulse-shape coming from the National

The goal of an inertially confined, igniting plasma on the National Ignition Facility (NIF)[ML
Spaeth, Fusion Sci. Technol. 69, 25 (2016)] remains elusive. However, there is a growing …

We investigate yield degradation due to applied low mode P2 and P4 asymmetries in
layered inertial confinement fusion implosions. This study has been performed with a large …
