Absolute Calibration of a Time-Resolved High Resolution X-ray Spectrometer for the National Ignition Facility (invited)
Lan Gao, B. F. Kraus, K. W. Hill +10
A high resolution, Diagnostic Instrument Manipulator (DIM)-based x-ray Bragg crystal spectrometer has been calibrated for and deployed at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) to di…
Hot Spot Evolution Measured by High-Resolution X-Ray Spectroscopy at the National Ignition Facility
Lan Gao, B. F. Kraus, K. W. Hill +19
Evolution of the hot spot plasma conditions was measured using high-resolution x-ray spectroscopy at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The capsules were filled with DD gas with…
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…
Order of magnitude increase in laser-target coupling at near-relativistic intensities using compound parabolic concentrators
Gerald Jackson Williams, Anthony J. Link, Mark William Sherlock +20
Achieving a high conversion efficiency into relativistic electrons is central to short-pulse laser application and fundamentally relies on creating interaction regions with intensi…
The first cryogenic DT layered, beryllium capsule implosion at the National Ignition Facility
D. C. Wilson, J. L. Kline, S. A. Yi +26
NIF experiments with Be capsules have followed a path of the highly successful "high-foot" CH capsules. Several keyhole and ConA targets preceeded a DT layered shot. In addition to…
Supersonic strain front driven by a dense electron-hole plasma
M. F. DeCamp, D. A. Reis, A. Cavalieri +11
We study coherent strain in (001) Ge generated by an ultrafast laser-initiated high density electron-hole plasma. The resultant coherent pulse is probed by time-resolved x-ray diff…
