The physics of inertial fusion beam plasma interaction, hydrodynamics, hot dense matter

Fusion energy is produced by burning hydrogen which is available from water. It is the energy source of the sun. It produces neither greenhouses gases nor long-lived nuclear waste. Here the authors describe how to use powerful lasers to ignite the hydrogen fuel and the physics of this future energy...
