“…A similar ignition-scale facility Laser Megajoule (LMJ, 240 beams, 1.8 MJ in 0.351 mm) is under construction at CESTA, France (Besnard 2007). A 4beam, 10 kJ in 0.351 mm LMJ prototype, Ligne d'Intégration Laser, has operated in France since 2002 (Eyharts et al 2006). An 8-beam, 15-20 kJ in 0.351 mm glass laser system has operated in China since 2005 as a prototype of the 64beam, 150-200 kJ Shenguang-III facility (He & Zhang 2007).…”

In inertial confinement fusion (ICF), the possibility of ignition or high energy gain is largely determined by our ability to control the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability growth in the target. The exponentially amplified RT perturbation eigenmodes are formed from all sources of the target and radiation non-uniformity in a process called seeding. This process involves a variety of physical mechanisms that are somewhat similar to the classical Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM) instability (in particular, most of them are active in the absence of acceleration), but differ from it in many ways. In the last decade, radiographic diagnostic techniques have been developed that made direct observations of the RM-type effects in the ICF-relevant conditions possible. New experiments stimulated the advancement of the theory of the RM-type processes. The progress in the experimental and theoretical studies of such phenomena as ablative RM instability, re-shock of the RM-unstable interface, feedout and perturbation development associated with impulsive loading is reviewed.
