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…

Learning thermodynamically constrained equations of state with uncertainty

Himanshu Sharma, Jim A. Gaffney, Dimitrios Tsapetis +1

Numerical simulations of high energy-density experiments require equation of state (EOS) models that relate a material's thermodynamic state variables -- specifically pressure, vol…

Development of a Bayesian method for the analysis of inertial confinement fusion experiments on the NIF

Jim A Gaffney, Dan Clark, Vijay Sonnad +1

The complex nature of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments results in a very large number of experimental parameters that are only known with limited reliability. These pa…
