Abstract
High density compression of main fuel and stable formation of hot spark at the center of imploded core have been investigated to obtain the scaling and the requirements for fusion ignition and high gain. For this purpose, the experimental data of the high density compression up to 600 times solid density with hollow shell pellet have been analyzed and compared with simulations.

The higher pR value of 10 mg/cm2 was obtained, in the similar way, for a larger diameter (∼ 380 μm) capsule. But the value has not been confirmed yet by the knock-on measurement for the same laser shot.
