Description
The use of high-intensity lasers to cause ignition in inertial confinement fusion is presented, with emphasis on current experimental programs and physical concepts that are at the forefront of the field. In particular, we highlight the issues of fast electron transport through dense materials, an essential element of the 'Fast Igniter' concept. (authors)
