This book is on inertial confinement fusion, an alternative way to
produce electrical power from hydrogen fuel by using powerful
lasers or particle beams. Two huge laser facilities are presently
under construction to show that this method works. It involves the
compression of tiny amounts (micrograms) of fuel to thousand times
solid density and pressures otherwise existing only in the centre
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 ultra-bright laser sources. The book 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 modeling, 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.
