Abstract
We have demonstrate fast heating of highly compressed plasmas using a PW(0.5ps/500J) laser system. Significant enhancement of thermal neutron yield has been realized, confirming that the high heating efficiency is maintained as the short-pulse laser power is increased to near equivalent power to the fast ignition condition of the laser fusion.
