The kinetic energies of the impactor were observed to be converted into thermal energy corresponding to temperatures of about 1.6 keV. We have observed as a result an increase of two orders of magnitude in neutron yield at the right timing of the impact collision, demonstrating the high potential of impact ignition for fusion energy production."}, title = {Quest for Impact Fast Ignition}, year = {2008} }
