Spectral Properties of Solar Wind Charge Exchange from Earth's Magnetospheric Boundaries: MHD and Test Particle Simulations
A. Ramachandran, R. T. Desai, H. L. Norman +6
The Solar Wind Charge Exchange (SWCX) mechanism, where X-rays can be generated through interactions between heavy, highly charged solar wind ions and neutral atoms, offers an oppor…
Fusion alpha particle momentum deposition in thermonuclear burn dynamics
A. J. Crilly, B. D. Appelbe, E. A. Ferdinandi +6
In inertial confinement fusion, the DT fusion alpha particles carry not only energy but also appreciable momentum that is typically neglected in models of thermonuclear burn. In th…
Magnetized ICF implosions: ignition at low laser energy using designs with more ablator mass remaining
C. A. Walsh, S. T. O'Neill, D. J. Strozzi +10
This paper is the first work to redesign a spherical ICF implosion to best utilize the benefits of applying an external magnetic field. The sub-ignition experiment N170601 is taken…
Magnetized ICF implosions: Non-axial magnetic field topologies
C. A. Walsh, D. J. Strozzi, A. Povilus +7
This paper explores 4 different magnetic field topologies for application to spherical inertial confinement fusion implosions: axial, mirror, cusp and closed field lines. A mirror…
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…
Exploring extreme magnetization phenomena in directly-driven imploding cylindrical targets
Christopher Walsh, Ricardo Florido, Mathieu Bailly-Grandvaux +10
This paper uses extended-magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations to explore an extreme magnetized plasma regime realisable by cylindrical implosions on the OMEGA laser facility. Thi…
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…
