Conference talk (SPIE proceedings). States the high-gain requirement for inertial fusion energy as a ratio of neutron yield to laser energy of about 100.

Findings

Scientific gain (Q_sci): 100
Requirement for an inertial fusion energy plant, not a measurement: neutron yield over incident laser energy.
implosion physics can meet the high-gain requirements for IFE (when a ratio of neutron yield to incident laser energy ~100)
