The application of an external 26 Tesla axial magnetic field to a D 2 gas-filled capsule
indirectly driven on the National Ignition Facility is observed to increase the ion temperature …

Magnetized target fusion approach to inertial confinement fusion involves the formation of
strong shocks that travel along a magnetized plasma. Shocks, which play a dominant role in …

The inertial confinement fusion program relies upon detailed simulations with inertial
confinement fusion (ICF) codes to design targets and to interpret the experimental results …

Magnetizing a cryogenic deuterium–tritium (DT)-layered inertial confinement fusion (ICF)
implosion can improve performance by reducing thermal conduction and improving DT …

We investigate three-dimensional (3-D) bow shocks in a highly collisional magnetized
aluminium plasma, generated during the ablation phase of an exploding wire array on the …

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 …

This paper reviews the many twists and turns in the long journey that culminated in ignition
in late 2022 using the laser heated indirect-drive approach to imploding DT filled targets at …

We present a study of perpendicular subcritical shocks in a collisional laboratory plasma.
Shocks are produced by placing obstacles into the supermagnetosonic outflow from an …

Magnetization is a key strategy for enhancing inertial fusion performance, though accurate
characterization of magnetized dense plasmas is needed for a better comprehension of the …

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 …
