Neural Network for 3D ICF Shell Reconstruction from Single Radiographs
Bradley T. Wolfe, Zhizhong Han, Jonathan S. Ben-Benjamin +8
In inertial confinement fusion (ICF), X-ray radiography is a critical diagnostic for measuring implosion dynamics, which contains rich 3D information. Traditional methods for recon…
Experimental evidence for collisional shock formation via two obliquely merging supersonic plasma jets
Elizabeth C. Merritt, Auna L. Moser, Scott C. Hsu +4
We report spatially resolved measurements of the oblique merging of two supersonic laboratory plasma jets. The jets are formed and launched by pulsed-power-driven railguns using in…
Experimental characterization of the stagnation layer between two obliquely merging supersonic plasma jets
Elizabeth C. Merritt, Auna L. Moser, Scott C. Hsu +2
We present spatially resolved measurements characterizing the stagnation layer between two obliquely merging supersonic plasma jets. Intra-jet collisionality is very high ($λ_{ii}…
Experimental characterization of railgun-driven supersonic plasma jets motivated by high energy density physics applications
S. C. Hsu, E. C. Merritt, A. L. Moser +11
We report experimental results on the parameters, structure, and evolution of high-Mach-number (M) argon plasma jets formed and launched by a pulsed-power-driven railgun. The nomin…
Multi-chord fiber-coupled interferometry of supersonic plasma jets and comparisons with synthetic data
Elizabeth C. Merritt, Alan G. Lynn, Mark A. Gilmore +3
A multi-chord fiber-coupled interferometer [Merritt et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 83, 033506 (2012)] is being used to make time-resolved density measurements of supersonic argon plasm…
Multi-chord fiber-coupled interferometer with a long coherence length laser
Elizabeth C. Merritt, Alan G. Lynn, Mark A. Gilmore +1
This paper describes a 561 nm laser heterodyne interferometer that provides time-resolved measurements of line-integrated plasma electron density within the range of 10^15-10^18 cm…
