Description

Fast ignitor schemes for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) using MJ-ps laser pulses are suggested. Non-linear force drive with hydroefficiencies higher than 50% reduces the volume ignition high gain fusion reaction via self-similarity adiabatic density and temperature profiles. This ignition prefers high velocities for which the non-linear force drive is especially favoured. Computations are based on hydrodynamics, including self-heat and radiation dynamics.
