Capsule gain

Fusion energy divided by energy absorbed by the fuel capsule. Always larger than target gain — quoting it as 'the' gain overstates performance.

What this metric divides

Total fusion energy yield

÷

Energy absorbed by the capsule

Stated explicitly because the denominator is what makes the number mean anything. Why that matters.
