The 17 pages that link to Inertial confinement fusion, each with the reason it gives.

• Nuclear fusionBroader topic: It seeks brief fusion burn by imploding fuel rather than holding plasma for long periods.

• Plasma physicsBroader topic: It tests plasma behavior under rapid compression and extreme transient conditions.

• Magnetic confinement fusionCompared with: It pursues fusion with brief implosions instead of sustained magnetic confinement.

• TokamakCompared with: It pursues controlled fusion without a continuously confined tokamak plasma.

• Coulomb barrierBroader topic: The implosion creates conditions intended to make barrier-penetrating fuel collisions frequent.

• Rayleigh–Taylor instabilityRelated: Interface growth can mix capsule material into the fuel and reduce compression.

• Lawrence Livermore National LaboratoryBroader topic: The laboratory developed major experiments to study this fusion approach.

• Deuterium–tritium fusionRelated: Experiments use capsules containing deuterium and tritium to trigger this reaction.

• Solid-state laserRelated: Large solid-state laser systems deliver the pulses used in prominent fusion experiments.

• Donna StricklandRelated: Chirped-pulse amplification contributes to laser systems used in high-energy-density physics research.

• Laser-produced plasmaRelated: Laser-generated x-rays or direct laser heating can drive the capsule implosion.

• Plasma diagnosticsRelated: Short-lived, dense plasmas require fast imaging and time-resolved spectroscopy.

• Fusion powerBroader topic: It confines fuel through its own inertia during an extremely brief implosion.

• First-principles calculations in plasma physicsRelated: First-principles plasma models help predict kinetic effects during capsule implosion and burn.

• High-energy-density plasmaRelated: Its imploding fuel capsules create brief, extremely dense plasmas.

• Laboratory studies of space and astrophysical plasmasRelated: Its facilities and methods overlap with experiments that create high-energy-density astrophysical plasmas.

• Solid hydrogenRelated: Cryogenic hydrogen isotopes can be frozen into fuel layers for implosion experiments.
