Implosion of indirectly driven reentrant cone shell target

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters
In an x-ray driven reentrant cone fast ignition target the x-ray spectrum contains a high energy component that casuses preheating of the reentrant cone and mixing of the gold into the collapsing shell. Direct laser drive might avoid this problem.
