Radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of the impact of instabilities and asymmetries on inertial confinement fusion

In recent years, there has been significant progress towards achieving ignition from controlled thermonuclear fusion. Recent experiments at the National Ignition Facility have come close to achieving this, but the performance of experiments were compromised by perturbations affecting the implosion&#...
