    Abstract

    ![CDATA[For avoiding the difficulties of the fast ignitor scheme, we present results where the ps-ignition is avoided and a one step conventional compression is used only. Following our computations of volume ignition and the excellent agreement with measured highest fusion gains of volume compression, we found conditions where compression to 5000 times solid and by using laser pulses of 10 MJ produce high gain volume ignition with temperatures between 400 and 800 eV only.]]
