Abstract

While a variety of laboratory-based fusion schemes have been studied for decades, the only fusion scheme yet to demonstrate fusion ignition and significant energy gain has been X-ray-driven inertially confined fusion. Ignition was demonstrated to occur at the thermodynamic conditions where it had long been expected, but the energy required for the implosion system to reach these conditions was more than projected years ago. This short review gives a status update on the three principal inertial confinement fusion schemes and research challenges going forward.

惯性约束核聚变：现状与挑战

虽然各种基于实验室的聚变方案已经研究了几十年，但迄今为止唯一能够证明聚变点火和显著能量增益的聚变方案是x射线驱动的惯性约束聚变。实验证明，在热力学条件下会发生点火，这是人们长期以来所期望的，但内爆系统达到这些条件所需的能量比几年前预计的要多。这篇简短的综述给出了三种主要惯性约束聚变方案的最新状况和未来的研究挑战。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science is a publication that has been available since 1952. It focuses on various aspects of nuclear and particle science, including both theoretical and experimental developments. The journal covers topics such as nuclear structure, heavy ion interactions, oscillations observed in solar and atmospheric neutrinos, the physics of heavy quarks, the impact of particle and nuclear physics on astroparticle physics, and recent advancements in accelerator design and instrumentation. One significant recent change in the journal is the conversion of its current volume from gated to open access. This conversion was made possible through Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program. As a result, all articles published in the current volume are now freely available to the public under a CC BY license. This change allows for greater accessibility and dissemination of research in the field of nuclear and particle science.
