14. The flattop final part of the laser pulse shown in Fig. 2 produces a temperature pulse that is constantly changing and has a maximum value at the temperature we indicate (e.g., 330 eV). Our 330 eV capsule is roughly comparable to the beryllium ablator capsule driven with a flattop final temperature of 300 eV discussed in Dittrich et al. (Ref. 5).
