Spherical compression of an applied magnetic field in inertial confinement fusion
R. Spiers, A. Bose, C. A. Frank +4
Applying an external magnetic field to laser-driven inertial confinement fusion implosions is a promising approach for enhancing fusion yield. The field is compressed with the plas…
Nonlocal effects on Thermal Transport in MagLIF-Relevant Gaspipes on NIF
R. Y. Lau, D. J. Strozzi, M. Sherlock +5
We present simulations of heat flow relevant to gaspipe experiments on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) to investigate kinetic effects on transport phenomena. D2 and neopentane…
Magnetized ICF implosions: ignition at low laser energy using designs with more ablator mass remaining
C. A. Walsh, S. T. O'Neill, D. J. Strozzi +10
This paper is the first work to redesign a spherical ICF implosion to best utilize the benefits of applying an external magnetic field. The sub-ignition experiment N170601 is taken…
Hot-spot model for inertial confinement fusion implosions with an applied magnetic field
R. C. Spiers, A. Bose, C. A. Frank +4
Imposing a magnetic field on inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions magnetizes the electrons in the compressed fuel; this suppresses thermal losses which increases temperatur…
