High-dimensional inverse design of inertial fusion implosions via differentiable simulation

A. J. Crilly, P. Travis, J. P. Brodrick +2

Inertial confinement fusion implosion design requires simultaneous optimisation of strongly coupled target and driver parameters across high-dimensional design spaces. Existing aut…

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…

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…
