摘要：

We present hybrid PIC simulations of fast electron transport and energy deposition in pre-compressed fusion targets, taking full account of collective magnetic effects. First results on actual ignition of an imploded fast ignition configuration are shown. Target ignition is studied as a function of injected electron energy, distance of cone-tip to dense core, and initial divergence of the relativistic electron beam.
