Shock ignition is a novel approach to ICF, which relies on delivery of a very strong shock, created by a laser pulse at intensities around 1016 Wcm2. In this context, we performed an experiment at the PALS laboratory using two beams from the Prague Asterix Laser System, with time duration of 300 ps. The rst beam at low intensity was used to create extended preformed plasma, and the second one to create a strong shock. Several diagnostics were used to characterize the preformed plasma and the interaction of the main pulse with the target.

Abstract
Shock ignition is a novel approach to ICF, which relies on delivery of a very strong shock, created by a laser pulse at intensities around 1016 Wcm2. In this context, we performed an experiment at the PALS laboratory using two beams from the Prague Asterix Laser System, with time duration of 300 ps. The rst beam at low intensity was used to create extended preformed plasma, and the second one to create a strong shock. Several diagnostics were used to characterize the preformed plasma and the interaction of the main pulse with the target.File in questo prodotto:
