Hot Spot Evolution Measured by High-Resolution X-Ray Spectroscopy at the National Ignition Facility
Lan Gao, B. F. Kraus, K. W. Hill +19
Evolution of the hot spot plasma conditions was measured using high-resolution x-ray spectroscopy at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The capsules were filled with DD gas with…
Platform for Probing Radiation Transport Properties of Hydrogen at Conditions Found in the Deep Interiors of Red Dwarfs
J. Lütgert, M. Bethkenhagen, B. Bachmann +19
We describe an experimental concept at the National Ignition Facility for specifically tailored spherical implosions to compress hydrogen to extreme densities (up to 800$\tim…
First bromine doped cryogenic implosion at the National Ignition Facility
A. C. Hayes, G. Kyrala, M. Gooden +29
We report on the first experiment dedicated to the study of nuclear reactions on dopants in a cryogenic capsule at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). This was accomplished using…
Experiments conducted in the burning plasma regime with inertial fusion implosions
J. S. Ross, J. E. Ralph, A. B. Zylstra +149
An experimental program is currently underway at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) to compress deuterium and tritium (DT) fuel to densities and temperatures sufficient to achiev…
