Status and Prospects of the Fast Ignition Inertial Fusion Concept M H Key Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore CA 94550. USA Key 1@ Abstract Fast ignition is an alternate concep t in inertial conf inementf usion, which has the p otentialf or easier ignition and greater energy multip lication. If realized it could imp rove the p rosp ects f or inertialf usion energy . It p oses stimulating challenges in science and technology and the research is
