Features: This book systematically introduces the physical processes and related physical problems of laser nuclear fusion. The book is divided into 9 chapters, including the basic principles of inertial confinement fusion power generation, the propagation and absorption of laser, the halo physics of laser-target coupling, electron thermal conduction and electron ablation, laser-X-ray conversion physics, implosion dynamics, fluid dynamics instabilities, an overview of transport theory, and the physical foundations of fast ignition. The content covers the fundamentals of laser nuclear fusion target physics as well as research achievements and cutting-edge topics over the past 20 years. In the appendix, the derivation process of self-similar solutions cited in the main text is provided, and dimensional analysis is briefly introduced. The book focuses on the physical processes and laws occurring during the laser-target coupling process, interpreting the relevant physical concepts. It emphasizes the combination of theory and experiment, as well as numerical simulation and analytical research. At the end of each chapter, some key references are provided for readers to consult. The target audience of this book includes senior undergraduate students, graduate students, teachers, and science and technology workers engaged in research in related fields or interested in understanding this research.
