Integrated Radiation-Magneto-Hydrodynamic Simulations of Magnetized Burning Plasmas. I. Magnetizing Ignition-Class Designs
B. Z. DjordjeviÄ, D. J. Strozzi, G. B. Zimmerman +6
Motivated by breakthroughs in inertial confinement fusion (ICF), first achieving ignition conditions in National Ignition Facility (NIF) shot N210808 and then laser energy breakeve…
Bayesian Optimization of Laser-Wakefield Acceleration via Spectral Pulse Shaping
B. Z. DjordjeviÄ, C. Benedetti, A. D. McNaughton +7
In this paper, we investigate the effect of spectral pulse shaping of the laser driver on the performance of channel-guided, laser-plasma accelerators. The study was carried out wi…
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…
Magnetized ICF implosions: Non-axial magnetic field topologies
C. A. Walsh, D. J. Strozzi, A. Povilus +7
This paper explores 4 different magnetic field topologies for application to spherical inertial confinement fusion implosions: axial, mirror, cusp and closed field lines. A mirror…
