Fast heating of super-solid density plasmas towards laser fusion ignition

We have studied fast heating of highly compressed plasmas using multi 100 TW laser light. Efficient propagation of the ultra-intense laser light and heating of the imploded plasmas were realized with a cone-attached shell target. Energy deposition rate of the ultra-intense laser pulse into high-dens...
