Diagnosing plasma magnetization in inertial confinement fusion implosions using secondary deuterium-tritium reactions

نویسندگان

چکیده

Diagnosing plasma magnetization in inertial confinement fusion implosions is important for understanding how magnetic fields affect implosion dynamics and to assess conditions magnetized experiments. Secondary deuterium–tritium (DT) reactions provide two diagnostic signatures infer neutron-averaged magnetization. Magnetically confining tritons from deuterium–deuterium (DD) the hot spot increases their path lengths energy loss, leading an increase secondary DT reaction yield. In addition, distribution of magnetically confined DD-triton anisotropic, this drives anisotropy neutron spectra along different lines sight. Implosion parameter space as well sensitivity applied B-field, fuel ρR, temperature, hot-spot shape will be examined using Monte Carlo 2D radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations.

Evidence for stratification of deuterium-tritium fuel in inertial confinement fusion implosions.

Measurements of the D(d,p)T (dd) and T(t,2n)(4)He (tt) reaction yields have been compared with those of the D(t,n)(4)He (dt) reaction yield, using deuterium-tritium gas-filled inertial confinement fusion capsule implosions. In these experiments, carried out on the OMEGA laser, absolute spectral measurements of dd protons and tt neutrons were obtained. From these measurements, it was concluded t...

Diagnosing indirect-drive inertial-confinement-fusion implosions with charged particles

High-energy charged particles are being used to diagnose x-ray-driven implosions in inertial-confinement fusion. Recent measurements with vacuum hohlraums have resulted in quantitative characterization of important aspects of x-ray drive and capsule implosions. Comprehensive data obtained from spectrally resolved, fusion-product self-emission and time-gated proton radiographs with unprecedented...

Understanding fuel magnetization and mix using secondary nuclear reactions in magneto-inertial fusion.

Magnetizing the fuel in inertial confinement fusion relaxes ignition requirements by reducing thermal conductivity and changing the physics of burn product confinement. Diagnosing the level of fuel magnetization during burn is critical to understanding target performance in magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) implosions. In pure deuterium fusion plasma, 1.01 MeV tritons are emitted during deuterium-d...

Adiabat Shaping in Direct-Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion Implosions

Adiabat shaping in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) capsules has been proposed as a method for increasing the stability of ICF implosions without compromising capsule compressibility and one-dimensional yield. The optimal adiabat profile has a maximum on the outer, ablation surface for higher ablative mitigation of the Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) instability, and a minimum on the shell inner surface ...
