Comparison of ablators for the polar direct drive exploding pusher platform
Heather D. Whitley, G. Elijah Kemp, Charles Yeamans +36
We examine the performance of pure boron, boron carbide, high density carbon, and boron nitride ablators in the polar direct drive exploding pusher (PDXP) platform. The platform us…
