A Hybrid Scheme to Achieve Highest Implosion Performance on the OMEGA Laser
P. S. Farmakis, L. Ceurvorst, V. Gopalaswamy +5
Merging direct and indirect-drive has long been viewed as an optimal hybrid laser-fusion scheme that combines the uniformity of x rays with the efficiency of direct illumination. W…
Human-in-the-Loop Meta Bayesian Optimization for Fusion Energy and Scientific Applications
Ricardo Luna Gutierrez, Sahand Ghorbanpour, Ejaz Rahman +5
Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) holds transformative promise for sustainable, near-limitless clean energy, yet remains constrained by prohibitively high costs and limited experim…
BayMOTH: Bayesian optiMizatiOn with meTa-lookahead -- a simple approacH
Rahman Ejaz, Varchas Gopalaswamy, Ricardo Luna +5
Bayesian optimization (BO) has for sequential optimization of expensive black-box functions demonstrated practicality and effectiveness in many real-world settings. Meta-Bayesian o…
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…
