Suppression of Electromagnetic Pulses from Laser-Target Interactions by Strong Magnetic Fields
P. V. Heuer, J. L. Peebles, J. R. Davies +12
Laser-target interactions generate intense electromagnetic pulses (EMP) that can interfere with measurements and damage equipment. In this paper we show that applying a magnetic fi…
Enhanced Hot Electron Preheat Observed in Magnetized Laser Direct-Drive Implosions
M. Cufari, M. Gatu Johnson, C. K. Li +5
Hard x-ray emission, associated with hot electron preheat, in direct-drive implosions was observed to be enhanced by a factor of by application of a T magnetic fie…
The linear Rayleigh-Taylor instability with foams
Antoine Bret, Audrey DeVault, Skylar Dannhoff +3
We analyse the behaviour of the linear phase of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) in the presence of a foam. Such a problem may be relevant, for example, to some inertial confi…
Modulated deuteron spectra observed with the Magnetic Recoil neutron Spectrometer at the National Ignition Facility
Bao Nguyen, Yousef Lawrence, Christopher Wink +12
The Magnetic Recoil Spectrometer (MRS) on the National Ignition Facility is used to measure the neutron spectrum from deuterium-tritium fueled inertial confinement fusion implosion…
Distortions in Charged-Particle Images of Laser Direct-Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion Implosions
P. V. Heuer, J. L. Peebles, J. Kunimune +17
Energetic charged particles generated by inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions encode information about the spatial morphology of the hot-spot and dense fuel during the time…
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…
Analysis of trends in experimental observables and reconstruction of the implosion dynamics for direct-drive cryogenic targets on OMEGA
A. Bose, R. Betti, D. Mangino +22
This paper describes a technique for identifying trends in performance degradation for inertial confinement fusion implosion experiments. It is based on reconstruction of the implo…
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…
