Self-similar solutions for resistive diffusion, Ohmic heating and Ettingshausen effects in plasmas of arbitrary
G. Farrow, G. Kagan, J. P. Chittenden
MIF approaches, such as the MagLIF experiment, use magnetic fields in dense plasma to suppress cross-field thermal conduction, attempting to reduce heat losses and trap alpha parti…
Review of the First Charged-Particle Transport Coefficient Comparison Workshop
P. E. Grabowski, S. B. Hansen, M. S. Murillo +42
We present the results of the first Charged-Particle Transport Coefficient Code Comparison Workshop, which was held in Albuquerque, NM October 4-6, 2016. In this first workshop, sc…
Inference of the electron temperature in ICF implosions from the hard X-ray spectral continuum
Grigory Kagan, O. L. Landen, D. Svyatskiy +15
Using the free-free continuum self-emission spectrum at photon energies above 15 keV is one of the most promising concepts for assessing the electron temperature in ICF experiments…
Comparison of transport coefficients for weakly coupled multi-component plasmas obtained with different formalisms
Grigory Kagan
LANL Memorandum of potentially broad interest. A direct comparison is performed between transport coefficients for weakly coupled plasmas obtained with different formalisms to demo…
Transport formulas for multi-component plasmas within the effective potential theory framework
Grigory Kagan, Scott D. Baalrud
The recently proposed effective potential theory [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 235001 (2013)] allows evaluating transport in coupled plasmas with the well-developed formalisms for systems…
Influence of coupling on thermal forces and dynamic friction in plasmas with multiple ion species
Grigory Kagan, Scott D. Baalrud, Jerome Daligault
The recently proposed effective potential theory [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 235001 (2013)] is used to investigate the influence of coupling on inter-ion-species diffusion and momentum…
Self-similar structure and experimental signatures of suprathermal ion distribution in inertial confinement fusion implosions
Grigory Kagan, D. Svyatskiy, H. G. Rinderknecht +4
The distribution function of suprathermal ions is found to be self-similar under conditions relevant to inertial confinement fusion hot-spots. By utilizing this feature, interferen…
Thermo-diffusion in inertially confined plasmas
Grigory Kagan, Xian-Zhu Tang
In a plasma of multiple ion species, thermodynamic forces such as pressure and temperature gradients can drive ion species separation via inter-species diffusion. Unlike its neutra…
Electro-diffusion in a plasma with two ion species
Grigory Kagan, Xian-Zhu Tang
Electric field is a thermodynamic force that can drive collisional inter-ion-species transport in a multicomponent plasma. In an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) capsule, such tra…
Bounce-free spherical hydrodynamic implosion
Grigory Kagan, Xian-Zhu Tang, Scott C. Hsu +1
In a bounce-free spherical hydrodynamic implosion, the post-stagnation hot core plasma does not expand against the imploding flow. Such an implosion scheme has the advantage of imp…
