Kinetic Corrections to Heat-flow and Nernst advection for Laser Heated Plasmas
Chris Walsh, Mark Sherlock
Reduced models for approximating the impact of kinetic electron behavior on the transport of thermal energy and magnetic field are investigated. The thermal flux limiter has improv…
Design and Modeling of Indirectly-Driven Magnetized Implosions on the NIF
D. J. Strozzi, H. Sio, G. B. Zimmerman +7
The use of magnetic fields to improve the performance of hohlraum-driven implosions on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) is discussed. The focus is on magnetically insulated ine…
Resistive Diffusion in Magnetized ICF Implosions: Reduced Magnetic Stabilization of the Richtmyer Meshkov Instability
C. A. Walsh, D. J. Strozzi, H. Sio +7
Resistive diffusion is typically regarded to be negligible in magnetized ICF experiments, with magnetic flux effectively compressed during the implosion. In this work the Richtmyer…
Measurements of Extended Magnetic Fields in Laser-Solid Interaction
J. Griff-McMahon, S. Malko, V. Valenzuela-Villaseca +5
Magnetic fields generated from a laser-foil interaction are measured with high fidelity using a proton radiography scheme with in situ x-ray fiducials. In contrast to prior finding…
