Abstract. The plasma regimes under which ignition can be achieved involve a
characteristic range of parameters and issues on which information has been
provided by recent experiments. In particular, these results have motivated a
new, in-depth analysis of the expected performance of the Ignitor machine as
well as of the plasma processes that it can investigate. The main results and
recent advances in the design of key systems of the machine are reported.
