Benchmarking boron carbide equation of state using computation and experiment
Shuai Zhang, Michelle C. Marshall, Lin H. Yang +13
Boron carbide (BC) is of both fundamental scientific and practical interest in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and high energy density physics experiments. We report the resu…
Volumetric heating of nanowire arrays to keV temperatures using kilojoule-scale petawatt laser interactions
M. P. Hill, O. Humphries, R. Royle +19
We present picosecond-resolution streaked K-shell spectra from 400 nm-diameter nickel nanowire arrays, demonstrating the ability to generate large volumes of high energy density pl…
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…
Equation of state of warm-dense boron nitride combining computation, modeling, and experiment
Shuai Zhang, Amy Lazicki, Burkhard Militzer +18
The equation of state (EOS) of materials at warm dense conditions poses significant challenges to both theory and experiment. We report a combined computational, modeling, and expe…
Theoretical and experimental investigation of the equation of state of boron plasmas
Shuai Zhang, Burkhard Militzer, Michelle C. Gregor +11
We report a theoretical equation of state (EOS) table for boron across a wide range of temperatures (5.110-5.210 K) and densities (0.25-49 g/cm), and ex…
Ray-based calculations of backscatter in laser fusion targets
D. J. Strozzi, E. A. Williams, D. E. Hinkel +3
A 1D, steady-state model for Brillouin and Raman backscatter from an inhomogeneous plasma is presented. The daughter plasma waves are treated in the strong damping limit, and have…
