摘要
Three research papers that address the approach taken by the National Ignition Campaign (NIC) to achieve ignition and thermonuclear burn in the laboratory and to develop a platform for ignition and high energy density (HED) applications are discussed. The first paper by Haan and team provides an overview of the ignition point design target and the methodology that has been developed to set specifications and assess the likelihood of success. This paper introduces a form of a generalized Lawson criterion (GLC) used to establish requirements on the laser, targets, and experiments such that the required imploded fuel conditions are achieved. The second paper by Landen and team addresses the experimental approach adopted to optimize the principal implosion input variables in the presence of physics uncertainties. The third paper by Edwards and team discusses the use of cryogenically layered targets to assess the progress toward achieving the compressed fuel conditions required for ignition.
