A joint diffusion approach to multi-modal inference in inertial confinement fusion
Michael S. Jones, Justin Kunimune, Daniel Casey +3
A combination of physics-based simulation and experiments has been critical to achieving ignition in inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Simulation and experiment both produce a mix…

Resolving discrepancies in bang-time predictions for indirect-drive ICF experiments on the NIF: Insights from the Build-A-Hohlraum campaign
G. F. Swadling, W. A. Farmer, H. Chen +18
This study investigated discrepancies between measured and simulated x-ray drive in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) hohlraums at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). Despite adv…

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…
