Present and future of laser fusion
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 March 2009
Abstract
The key issues of laser fusion are to achieve highly efficient implosion by the ablation and to reach the high gain of a fuel pellet. Measures of the success are the neutron yield and the areal density of the fuel. Recent results show the neutron yield per laser shot to be 1013, and the ρR is 0·2g/cm2. These data seem to be approaching the breakeven condition.
