First International Workshop on ICF Shock Ignition
March 28, 2011
Sponsored by LLE, the first International Workshop on ICF Shock Ignition was held on 8–10 March 2011. Representatives from institutions worldwide interested in shock ignition visited LLE to discuss the current status of a variety of topics, including: facility forecasts; target design and simulations; and the effects of laser–plasma interactions during a shock-ignition implosion. Plans for the next workshop, to be held in the fall of 2011 at either IFSA or APS, are already underway.
