The laser efficiency alone keeps ICF reactors as a pie in the sky. p-B11 is attractive but the Bremsstrahlung emissions of the heavy/highly ionized boron would exceed the power output of a steady state reactor. So knock on neutrons all you want: until you bridge 10 orders of magnitude aneutronic fusion won't be supplying anyone with power.
Keep up the good work, but don't expect results in your lifetime.
