Abstract
In a laser driven pellet, the absorbed laser energy is primarily transferred to the electrons. This transfer process has been widely studied using theory, computer simulation calculations, and experiments. As a result we know that the phenomena that can occur in a net energy producing pellet are extremely complicated. The basic difficulty is that laser-plasma interactions involve very difficult problems in nonlinear plasma physics. These problems are very important since pellet performance is strongly affected. The primary unknowns are the strengths of the various parametric instabilities and the mechanisms that result in the apparent strong electron heat flux inhibition.
