Critical elements of high gain laser fusion
Description
Progress toward high laser fusion can be measured by a set of five critical elements. They are: (1) the laser-to-fuel coupling efficiency, (2) the cold fuel isentrope, (3) the implosion symmetry, (4) the ablation pressure, and (5) the ignition concept
