Indirect-Drive Fusion Target Design for Commercial Fusion Energy
C. R. Weber, A. L. Kritcher, S. Bhandarkar +26
This paper presents the physics basis for commercially relevant laser indirect-drive (LID) (radiation-driven) inertial fusion energy (IFE) using a 10 MJ laser driver. To date, this…
Observation of Self-Similarity in the Magnetic Fields Generated by the Ablative Nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor Instability
L. Gao, P. M. Nilson, I. V. Igumenschev +10
Magnetic fields generated by the nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor growth of laser-seeded three-dimensional broadband perturbations were measured in laser-accelerated planar targets using…
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…
Direct asymmetry measurement of temperature and density spatial distributions in inertial confinement fusion plasmas from pinhole space-resolved spectra
T. Nagayama, R. C. Mancini, R. Florido +6
Two-dimensional space-resolved temperature and density images of an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosion core have been diagnosed for the first time. Argon-doped, direct-dri…
