Abstract

The quest for demonstrating ignition and gain in Inertial Confinement Fusion [1] has come to a crucial point, where the long awaited proof of principle of this approach to fusion still fails to arrive. We present the status of this field of research, both at the international [2] and european level [3], focussing on the standard approach and on the new strategies in laser fusion. The path ahead is also indicated, highlighting some of the key points in the design of a fusion reactor. The recent results obtained by our group on target design for shock ignition [4], optimization of direct-drive irradiation schemes [5], and energy and laser wavelength scaling models are illustrated [6].
