Abstract
A method to assemble thermonuclear fuel for fast ignition
with high densities, high 
, and a small size hot spot is presented. Massive
cryogenic shells can be imploded with a low implosion velocity VI on a
low adiabat 
using the relaxation-pulse technique. While the low VI
yields a small hot spot, the low leads to large peak values of the density
and areal density. It is shown that a 750-kJ laser can assemble fuel with
cm/s,
,
g/cc,
g/cm2,
and hot-spot volume less than 10% of the compressed core. If ignited,
this fuel assembly can produce yields up to
of
interest to IFE applications.
