Abstract
This paper presents an update on achieving inertial confinement fusion with the Laser Megajoule (LMJ), a megajoule laser that requires a coordinated program associating the laser itself, as well as optimized cryogenic fusion targets, plasma diagnostics, and simulation tools. High yield fusion capsules are identified, that require no more than 1.4 MJ of laser energy, which offers new opportunities for operating LMJ. The experimental possibility of fusion is also described.
