This book is on inertial confinement fusion, an alternative way to
produce electrical power from hydogen fuel by using powerful lasers
or particle beams. It involves the compression of tiny amounts
(micrograms) of fuel to thousands times solid density and pressures
otherwise existing only in the center of stars. Thanks to advances
in laser technology, it is now possible to produce such extreme
states of matter in the laboratory. Recent developments have
boosted laser intensities again with new possibilities for laser
particle accelerators, laser nuclear physics, and fast ignition of
fusion targets. This is a reference book for those working on beam
plasma physics, be it in the context of fundamental research or
applications to fusion energy or novel ultrabright laser sources.
The Physics of Inertial Fusion combines quite different areas of
physics: beam target interaction, dense plasmas, hydrodynamic
implosion and instabilities, radiative energy transfer as well as
fusion reactions. Particular attention is given to simple and
useful modelling, including dimensional analysis and similarity
solutions. Both authors have worked in this field for more than 20
years. They want to address in particular those teaching this topic
to students and all those interested in understanding the technical
basis.
Now new in paperback.
