Characterization of foam-filled hohlraums for inertial fusion experiments
Sam Iaquinta, Peter Amendt, Jose Milovich +8
On the path towards high-gain inertial confinement fusion ignition, foams are being considered to tamp the hohlraum wall-motion, and mitigate laser backscattering from Stimulated R…
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…
Magnetized ICF Implosions: Scaling of Temperature and Yield Enhancement
C. A. Walsh, S. O'Neill, J. P. Chittenden +11
This paper investigates the impact of an applied magnetic field on the yield and hot-spot temperature of inertial confinement fusion implosions. A scaling of temperature amplificat…
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…
Towards an integrated platform for characterizing laser-driven, isochorically-heated plasmas with 1-m spatial resolution
Cameron H Allen, Matthew Oliver, Laurent Divol +8
Warm dense matter is a region of phase space that is of high interest to multiple scientific communities ranging from astrophysics to inertial confinement fusion. Further understan…
Collisionless shock acceleration of narrow energy spread ion beams from mixed species plasmas using 1 m lasers
A. Pak, S. Kerr, N. Lemos +15
Collisionless shock acceleration of protons and C ions has been achieved by the interaction of a 10 W/cm, 1 m laser with a near-critical density plasma. Ablati…
Effect of Laser-Plasma Interactions on Inertial Fusion Hydrodynamics
D. J. Strozzi, D. S. Bailey, P. Michel +7
The effects of laser-plasma interactions (LPI) on the dynamics of inertial confinement fusion hohlraums is investigated via a new approach that self-consistently couples reduced LP…
Cone-Guided Fast Ignition with no Imposed Magnetic Fields
D. J. Strozzi, M. Tabak, D. J. Larson +6
Simulations of ignition-scale fast ignition targets have been performed with the new integrated Zuma-Hydra PIC-hydrodynamic capability. We consider an idealized spherical DT fuel a…
Focusing of Intense Subpicosecond Laser Pulses in Wedge Targets
M. C. Levy, A. J. Kemp, S. C. Wilks +2
Two dimensional particle-in-cell simulations characterizing the interaction of ultraintense short pulse lasers in the range 10^{18} \leq I \leq 10^{20} W/cm^{2} with converging tar…
