Formation of hot spots at end-on pre-compressed isochoric fuels for fast ignition

It is crucial to form a hot spot that can drive a self-heating nuclear burn propagation into the surrounding cold fuel in ignition process of laser fusion. In this paper, we discuss the formation of a hemispherical hot spot located at the edge of an end-on precompressed isochoric fuel instead of a c...
