Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) concepts, target physics subgroup

The target physics subgroup met for three days of three hour sessions and discussed several questions: Session 1A: What are the key scientific issues for validating each target concept and how can they be resolved; Session 1B: How can existing (and new?) facilities be used to test each concept; Session 1C: (1) What IFE target physics issues will not be resolved on NIF; (2) What is required to get to high yield; and (3) What is the significance to IFE of experimentally demonstrating high yield/high gain? During the discussions, the third question actually turned into a debate concerning the related question of whether or not a single-shot high yield facility is necessary prior to the ETF
