Scientific paper

Inertially confined, ignited thermonuclear D-T plasmas will produce intense blackbody radiation at temperatures T≳20keV; it is shown that the injection of GeV electrons into the burning core can efficiently generate high-energy Compton scattering photons. Moreover, the spectrum scattered in a small solid angle can be remarkably monochromatic, due to kinematic pileup; a peak brightness in excess of 1030photons/(mm2mrad2s0.1%bandwidth) is predicted. These results are discussed within the context of the Schwinger field and the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect.
