Laser Plasma Interactions 5: Inertial Confinement Fusion: Proceedings of the Forty Fifth Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics, St. Andrews, August 1994

This volume provides a broad overview in the increasingly important field of laser-plasma interactions. With the growth of research into fusion much international effort is being devoted to the problems of inertial confinement. This collection of lectures provides the novice researcher with the context in which current research papers can be understood.

Laser Plasma Interactions 5 is one of the first publications to include recently declassified results from the United States inertial confin...
