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…
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…
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…
