Abstract

Abstract

To better understand the basic physics of fast ignition target compression, the effects of laser pulse shape on the compression of flat target are analyzed and simulated using hydrodynamic code MULTI. Results show that high material density can be achieved through optimizing the initial intensity, rising time and the intensity slope of the laser pulse.
