Status of indirect drive inertial confinement fusion

Abstract

Recent experiments conducted on the Nova laser with temporally unshaped pulses show that by converting 0.35-μm light to x rays in high-Z cavities (hohlraums) and then using these x rays to drive a DT filled capsule, we can achieve radial compression near 30 with neutron yields in the 10-70% range of clean 1-D yields.
