How to achieve unlimited, safe, clean and low-cost energy by laser-
or beam-driven inertial nuclear fusion has preoccupied all winners
of the Edward Teller Medal since its inception in 1991. This book
presents their findings, meeting discussions, and personal insights
from Edward Teller himself. Expect discussion of important advances
anticipated in the future such as multi-billion dollar fusion
research projects (NIF), and new schemes such as the
petawatt-picosecond laser-plasma interactions evoking new physics
and coupling mechanisms.For the first time, laser technology of the
new century is providing the very short and extremely intense
energetic pulses needed for fusion energy from next generation
power stations, which produce energy at cost several times lower
than any other source. The long-sought dream to directly ignite
frozen heavy hydrogen for controlled use is close to being
realized. Years of research on plasmas and lasers carried out
worldwide in highly sophisticated experiments is summarized. The
coverage begins with the work of John Nuckolls and Nobel Laureate
Nikolai Basov and leads to the new scheme of plasma block
acceleration via the nonlinear ponderomotive force. Edward Teller
Lectures is one of the first guides to these new developments.
