Overview

The emphasis of the book is on inertial confinement fusion, including recently declassified results from the USA. Also covered are plasma radiation and transport processes, diagnostic measurements, dense plasmas, high power lasers and X-ray lasers. Designed as an introduction to the field for postgraduate students, and to provide an overview of current important research activities, results and future directions for researchers.
