CHAPTER

The Inertial Condensation Approach

In inertial confinement, the density is actually lower than the can of atmospheric density. In anutrafusion a, we're talking about densities that might be ten or a hundred times higher but time scales are very short. So you're talking about on billionth per second. One of the big advantages that we have is that we have a process that we can simulate. The physics of the process is amenable to simulation. It is a tractable thing to simulate. We've done over a hundred thousand simulations going into the design of that campaign.
