Symmetric 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...
متن کاملEmerging Partnership Strategy at Sandia National Laboratories
Research has linked the ability to partner and use alliances as a competitive tool as a critical component of agility. Companies that are able to quickly couple and uncouple themselves with other entities as needed demonstrate agile characteristics of reconjigurability, modulari~ and scalability. The case presented demonstrates these agile characteristics as well as methods employed to reach th...
متن کاملFast Ignition Studies at Sandia National Laboratories
This talk will describe ongoing and planned fast ignition theoretical and experimental work using the Z-machine in concert with the upgraded Z-Beamlet/PW laser system. Z can produce x-ray powers of 100-250TW, x-ray energies 1-1.8MJ, and > 200eV radiation temperatures and thus represents an interesting platform for compressing large quantities of matter for use as fast ignition targets. Soon Z w...
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 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 ...
