Studies of the fast ignition route to inertial confinement fusion at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory

The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory has been at the forefront of investigations into the physics associated with the fast ignition concept for inertial confinement fusion. This scheme involves complex laser-plasma processes, the theoretical understanding of which relies heavily on particle-in-cell ca...
