Abstract
The possibility of fast ignition of a fusion target by a
high-density plasma (proton) block driven by the laser-induced skin-layer
ponderomotive acceleration (S-LPA) mechanism is considered. The estimates
show that using such a plasma block, the ignition threshold for
precompressed DT fuel can be reached at the short-pulse laser energy 
kJ.
