ICF hydrodynamic instability: RT growth γ = √(g·k) at shell/gas interface

Inertial-confinement fusion (ICF) laser-driven implosion compresses a hollow DT-ice pellet by factor ~30 in radius and ~1000 in density (to ~1000 g/cm³). The shell's inner surface decelerates into the low-density DT gas at ~hundreds of…
