Fusion with the megajoule laser

Achieving fusion with LMJ requires a coordinated program associating the facility itself, and associated targets. New results obtained since the last IFSA conference are presented, starting from the facility itself (including operations), moving to cryogenic targets, on to plasma diagnostics. We identified high yield fusion capsules that require no more that 1.4 MJ of laser energy, offering new opportunities for operating LMJ. The corresponding experimental path to fusion is described and commented
