First observations of nonhydrodynamic mix at the fuel-shell interface in shock-driven inertial confinement implosions.
A strong nonhydrodynamic mechanism generating atomic fuel-shell mix has been observed in strongly shocked inertial confinement fusion implosions of thin deuterated-plastic shells filled with 3He gas. These implosions were found to produce D3He-proton shock yields comparable to implosions of identical shells filled with a hydroequivalent 50∶50 D3He gas mixture. Standard hydrodynamic mixing canno...
متن کاملShock Convergence and Mix Dynamics in Inertial Confinement Fusion
Understanding the phenomena of shock propagation and of turbulent mix induced by Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability growth is of critical importance for ignition and high gain in inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Capsule assembly and hot-spot formation require careful timing of multiple shocks to maximize hot-spot heating while minimizing heating of the main fuel. Unmitigated mixing of the main ...
متن کاملAdiabat 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 ...
متن کاملDiagnosing 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...
متن کاملSymmetric inertial confinement fusion implosions at ultra-high laser energies.
Indirect-drive hohlraum experiments at the National Ignition Facility have demonstrated symmetric capsule implosions at unprecedented laser drive energies of 0.7 megajoule. One hundred and ninety-two simultaneously fired laser beams heat ignition-emulate hohlraums to radiation temperatures of 3.3 million kelvin, compressing 1.8-millimeter-diameter capsules by the soft x-rays produced by the hoh...
