Title: A measurable Lawson criterion and hydro-equivalent curves for inertial confinement fusion

Journal Article · · Physics of Plasmas
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2998604· OSTI ID:940919

This article demonstrates how the ignition condition (Lawson criterion) for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) can be cast in a form depending on the only two parameters of the compressed fuel assembly that can be measured with methods already in existence: the hot spot ion temperature and the total areal density.
