Optimising point source irradiation of a capsule for maximum uniformity

Inertial Confinement Fusion involves the implosion of a spherical capsule containing thermonuclear fuel. The implosion is driven by irradiating the outside of the capsule by X-rays or by optical laser irradiation, where in each case the highest uniformity of irradiation is sought. In this paper we c...
