Effects of Alpha Particle Stopping-Power Models on Inertial Confinement Fusion Implosions
An important issue in the design of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosion experiments is calculating the proper energy-deposition rate of the alpha particles as they travel through the plasma. In this project, four different models of stopping power (energy deposition), based on different physics approximations, have been examined: the Skupsky model (currently used in Laboratory for Laser...
متن کاملUWFDM-1117 Neutral Particle Integral Transport in Inertial Confinement Fusion Systems Using Time Dependent Integral Transport Methods (Ph.D. thesis)
Time-dependent radiative transport is important in inertial confinement of fusion targets. The target must be illuminated with as symmetric a source as possible to ensure an isentropic compression. Once the fusion event begins, energy is taken away from the burn via radiation transport. This process represents a large percentage of the total energy loss. Similarly, neutron transport is importan...
متن کاملAlpha Heating and Burning Plasmas in Inertial Confinement Fusion.
Estimating the level of alpha heating and determining the onset of the burning plasma regime is essential to finding the path towards thermonuclear ignition. In a burning plasma, the alpha heating exceeds the external input energy to the plasma. Using a simple model of the implosion, it is shown that a general relation can be derived, connecting the burning plasma regime to the yield enhancemen...
متن کاملCharged-particle probing of x-ray-driven inertial-fusion implosions.
Measurements of x-ray-driven implosions with charged particles have resulted in the quantitative characterization of critical aspects of indirect-drive inertial fusion. Three types of spontaneous electric fields differing in strength by two orders of magnitude, the largest being nearly one-tenth of the Bohr field, were discovered with time-gated proton radiographic imaging and spectrally resolv...
متن کاملThe High Current Transport Experiment for Heavy Ion Inertial Fusion
The High Current Experiment (HCX) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is part of the US program to explore heavy-ion beam transport at a scale representative of the low-energy end of an induction linac driver for fusion energy production. The primary mission of this experiment is to investigate aperture fill factors acceptable for the transport of space-charge-dominated heavy-ion beams at ...
