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…

Fusion alpha particle momentum deposition in thermonuclear burn dynamics
A. J. Crilly, B. D. Appelbe, E. A. Ferdinandi +6
In inertial confinement fusion, the DT fusion alpha particles carry not only energy but also appreciable momentum that is typically neglected in models of thermonuclear burn. In th…

Automated simulation-based design via multi-fidelity active learning and optimisation for laser direct drive implosions
A. J. Crilly, P. W. Moloney, D. Shi +1
The design of inertial fusion experiments is a complex task as driver energy must be delivered in a precise manner to a structured target to achieve a fast, but hydrodynamically st…
