An analytical model and numerical simulations demonstrate that pulses with intensities exceeding 1022 W/cm2 may penetrate deeply into the plasma and accelerate efficiently ions in the forward direction. We propose a new scheme for fast ignition of precompressed DT fusion targets by using two laser pulses. The first pulse (or a sequence of several pulses) creates a channel with diameter ~ 30¿m through the plasma corona up to the fuel density ~ 1 g/cm3. The second pulse with a higher intensity accelerates the deuterium and tritium ions at the head of this channel. The overall ignition energy is ~ 100 kJ. | |
