Ablation stability of laser-driven implosions
Abstract
The perturbation analysis of laser-driven implosions was examined showing the positive stability of the ablation surface. The opposite conclusion has been reported by others. Numerical results are reported from a more complete class of problems. The conclusions are supported by general physical arguments.
