Reply to comment by Jon_Beveryman in How do X-rays “compress” a nuclear fusion pellet? by i_owe_them13
Light has momentum correct, is the compression equal to a relative pressure from this momentum or is the process of heating the only cause?

To ablation pressure (indirectly resulting from heating) will be much higher than the direct radiation pressure.
