Abstract

Nuclear fusion gains of deuterium-tritium (DT) at volume ignition are discussed for the forthcoming conditions of the NIF or LMJ laser pulses in the range of nanosecond duration at direct drive. This turns out to be similar to the expected values known form spark ignition. These conditions should be reached also by single pulse interaction of picosecond pulses using the unique anomaly of nonlinear force driven plasma block acceleration with ps pulses for volume ignition. Total gains of 200 for MJ laser pulses are expected.
