Localized carbon mix in an inertial fusion hot-spot radiates, contracts, blocks alpha particles, reduces fusion reactivity, and broadens neutron spectra more than an equal uniform mix.
Furthermore, the energy deposited in the mix re- gion is more efficiently radiated away and wasted, since the radiative rate scales as n2 e
