Experiments to explore the influence of pulse shaping at the National Ignition Facility
(AIP, 2020-06)The shaping of the drive pulse in time is a key tool in the design of fusion experiments that use inertia to confine burning plasmas. It is directly related to the adiabat and compressibility of the DT fuel, and the ... -
Symmetry tuning and high energy coupling for an Al capsule in a Au rugby hohlraum on NIF
(AIP, 2020-06)Experiments on imploding an Al capsule in a Au rugby hohlraum with up to 1.5 MJ laser drive were performed on the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The capsule diameter was 3.0 mm with ∼ 1 MJ drive and 3.4 mm with ∼ 1.5 ... -
Evidence of non-Maxwellian ion velocity distributions in spherical shock-driven implosions
(APS, 2022-02)The ion velocity distribution functions of thermonuclear plasmas generated by spherical laser direct drive implosions are studied using deuterium-tritium (DT) and deuterium-deuterium (DD) fusion neutron energy spectrum ...
