Modern trends in low-density materials for fusion

Low-density targets continue to yield new experimental data and to put new unsolved questions for driver-plasma experiments. The experiments with such targets are presented in the paper by "Low-density targets that worked in direct and indirect experiments with laser and particle beams" by L.A. Borisenko et. al. ibid. Here we concentrate on nanostructured and aerogel targets' fabrication and characterization. These configurations establish certain standards for contemporary shot experiments.
