Assembly of High-Areal-Density Deuterium-Tritium Fuel from Indirectly Driven Cryogenic Implosions

Assembly of High-Areal-Density Deuterium-Tritium Fuel from Indirectly Driven Cryogenic Implosions

The National Ignition Facility has been used to compress deuterium-tritium to an average areal density of ~1.0±0.1  g cm[superscript -2], which is 67% of the ignition requirement. These conditions were obtained using 192 laser beams with total energy of 1–1.6 MJ and peak power up to 420 TW to create...
