摘要：

A fast-ignitor scheme for inertial confinement Fusion is proposed which works without hole boring. It is shown that a thermonuclear burn wave starts from the pellet corona when an adequate amount of energy (typically 10 kJ) is deposited in the critical layer by a petawatt laser ("coronal ignition"). Burn efficiencies as high as predicted for standard central spark ignition an achieved. In addition, the scheme is surprisingly insensitive to large deviations from spherical precompression symmetry. It may open a new prospect for direct drive.
