Paper Abstract
At present the energy required to drive an inertial fusion implosion is not well-defined. In the past the energy predicted to produce a breakeven yield, where the thermonuclear energy release is equal to the driver energy, has varied from 103 to 106 joules. The reason for this large variation is partly that experiment and theory have now defined previously poorly understood physical effects and partly that more conservative estimates are now used for those effects which are not yet understood.
