Abstract

The recent progress of laser fusion research has been remarkable in obtaining the high density of more than 100 times solid density (Nakai et al. 1988) and high temperature plasma producing thermonuclear neutrons of 1013 per shot (pellet gain of 0·2%) (Yamanaka et al. 1986a) and in the understanding of the implosion physics. The data bases of the laser fusion are rapidly being accumulated and the technologies for the advanced experiments have been developed, both of which enable us to proceed toward the fusion ignition experiment and the achievement of the breakeven conditions.
