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…

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…

Burn Propagation in Magnetized High-Yield Inertial Fusion
S. T. O'Neill, B. D. Appelbe, A. J. Crilly +4
Recent experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) have demonstrated ignition for the first time in an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiment, a major milestone allow…
