Magnetic Field Transport in Propagating Thermonuclear Burn
B. Appelbe, A. L. Velikovich, M. Sherlock +4
High energy gain in inertial fusion schemes requires the propagation of a thermonuclear burn wave from hot to cold fuel. We consider the problem of burn propagation when a magnetic…
Neutron backscatter edge: A measure of the hydrodynamic properties of the dense DT fuel at stagnation in ICF experiments
Aidan J. Crilly, Brian D. Appelbe, Owen M. Mannion +3
The kinematic lower bound for the single scattering of neutrons produced in DT fusion reactions produces a backscatter edge in the measured neutron spectrum. The energy spectrum of…
Burn regimes in the hydrodynamic scaling of perturbed inertial confinement fusion hotspots
J. K. Tong, K. McGlinchey, B. D. Appelbe +3
We present simulations of ignition and burn based on the Highfoot and High-Density Carbon indirect drive designs of the National Ignition Facility for three regimes of alpha-heatin…
Synthetic Nuclear Diagnostics for Inferring Plasma Properties of Inertial Confinement Fusion Implosions
Aidan Crilly, Brian Appelbe, Kris McGlinchey +4
A suite of synthetic nuclear diagnostics has been developed to post-process radiation hydrodynamics simulations performed with the code Chimera. These provide experimental observab…
