It is a dream of worldwide scientists to demonstrate fusion ignition and gain in the laboratory. The demonstration of laboratory fusion ignition via Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) will allow scientists to understand processes i

The non-equilibrium between ions and electrons in the hot spot can relax the ignition conditions in inertial confinement fusion [Fan et al., Phys. Plasmas 23, 010703 (2016)], and obvious ion-electron non-equilibrium could be obser

The low-mode shell asymmetry and high-mode hot spot mixing appear to be the main reasons for the performance degradation of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) implosion experiments. The effects of the mode coupling between low-m

Measurements of the mass ablation rate of aluminum (Al) have been completed at the Omega Laser Facility. These measurements show that the mass-ablation rate of Al is higher than plastic (CH), comparable to high density carbon (HDC

The basic energy balance model is applied to analyze the hohlraum energetics data from the Shenguang (SG) series laser facilities and the National Ignition Facility (NIF) experiments published in the past few years. The analysis s

Proton generation, transport and interaction with hollow cone targets are investigated by means of two-dimensional PIC simulations. A scaled-down hollow cone with gold walls, a carbon tip and a curved hydrogen foil inside the cone
