Abstract
One of the problems facing the laser fusion community is the preheating of the target core by hot electrons generated from nonlinear processes in the laser-plasma interaction. These hot electrons originate in the corona of the target, but can penetrate and preheat the core before the intended adiabatic compression can occur, thus preventing the high density necessary for significant fusion reactions to take place.
Presented at the Sixth International Workshop on Laser Interaction and Related Plasma Phenomena, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, Ca., October 25-29, 1982.
