Conditions for thermonuclear ignition of deuterium-tritium (DT) gas by a focusing ideally symmetric shock wave are estimated. The wave is focused to the center and then reflects. In so doing a higher-pressure zone is produced following the front of the shock wave reflected from the center; if the wa...
