…pellet is ionized by the driver beam, and ablation of the ionized material generates a large inward force on the pellet. Recoil from the ablation implodes the inner layer, producing a shock wave that compresses the inner layers of the D-T fuel. The implosion speed is several hundred kilometres per…
