A short-laser-pulse driven ion flux is examined as a fast ignitor candidate for inertial confinement fusion. Ion ranges in a hot precompressed fuel are studied. The ion energy and the corresponding intensity of a short laser pulse are estimated for the optimum ion range and ion energy density flux. It is shown that a lightion beam triggered by a few-hundreds-kJ laser at intensities of *1021 W/c...

The dominant regime in most of experiments on ion acceleration from solid targets is the target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA). It is used in laser-matter interaction for laser intensities ranging approximately between 1016 and 1022 W/cm2 as reported in several publications [1, 2]. Several models and scaling laws have been suggested to predict the maximum ion energy of accelerated ions in th...
