  • Abstract
    In pursuit of its goal of developing a laboratory microfusion capability for both defense and other applications, the US Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) Program has developed a set of laser and light ion research facilities which, with their supporting components, represent the most advanced set of high energy density physics research capabilities in the world. As an example, ICF implosions can produce plasmas with Ne~1024 cm-3 and Te ~1.5 keV
