Heavy-ion ICF

Heavy ion beams rather than lasers deliver the compression energy. Accelerators are efficient and repeat readily, which lasers of this scale do not. No facility has been built at fusion-relevant scale; the main open problem is focusing multiple intense ion beams onto a millimetre-scale target simultaneously.
