Speaker: Sébastien le Pape (CNRS-LULI, France) Fusion energy has been the driving force in the High Energy Density (HED) community for more than fifty years but especially since the start of the National Ignition Campaign in 2009 on the National Ignition facility (LLNL, USA). The National Ignition Campaign, though a marvel in term of laser […]
Speaker: Gabriele Cristoforetti (INO-CNR, Italy) One of the main concerns of Shock Ignition (SI) scheme to Inertial Confinement Fusion is the growth of parametric instabilities in the plasma corona, such as Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS), Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) and Two Plasmon Decay (TPD). Their extent can be tremendous during the interaction of the high […]
The International Workshop on Targets for Laser Fusion, taking place on 13th May 2025 in Rutherford, UK, is a one-day event dedicated to the latest trends in Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) target design, fabrication and experimentation, with a focus on tailored solutions for highly demanding requirements. The workshop will explore cutting-edge developments in foam and […]
The 13th International Conference on Inertial Fusion Sciences and Applications (IFSA 2025) is happening in the beautiful city of Tours, France, from September 14th to 19th, 2025. This in-person gathering is a fantastic opportunity for scientists, engineers, and experts from universities, national labs, and private companies to come together and dive into the fascinating fields […]
