[...] so, where did we stop last time? I’ve just said another triviality – that laser emission strongly interacts with material of the fuel capsule. There are several mechanisms of this interaction: deflection (ablator and fuel are almost [...]

Oh, yes, sorry about that. By the way, wanted to ask you – are you an expert on the subject?

Cheers,

Not bored at all.

But it’s a bit confusing that you talk about the laser light being focused onto the capsule but show a picture of a hohlraum–in indirect drive the laser does not impinge on the capsule at all, and the implosion is driven by soft thermal x-rays.
