FoamTarget<Doped> -> PlasmaTarget<Homogeneous>
Convert a doped foam target into a homogeneous, long-lived plasma by heating it volumetrically with soft X-rays from a laser-heated hohlraum.
Problem it solves
Solid targets suffer from high density gradients and rapid hydrodynamic expansion, shortening the fusion reaction window.
