The impact of low-mode symmetry on inertial fusion energy output in the burning plasma state
Abstract Indirect Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion Experiments on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) have achieved a burning plasma state with neutron yields exceeding 170 kJ, roughly 3 times the prior record and a necessary stage for igniting plasmas.The results are achieved despite multiple sources of degradations that lead to high variability
