متن کاملA Consistent Measurement-Based Picture of Core-Mix in Direct-Drive Implosions on OMEGA
68 LLE Review, Volume 86 Introduction The central goal of direct-drive implosions on the OMEGA laser1 is to validate the performance of the high-gain, directdrive ignition designs2 planned for use on the National Ignition Facility. Inferring the density, temperature, and fuel–shell mix of ignition-relevant capsule implosions is important in validating models of implosions. To this end, diagnost...
متن کاملSection 2 PROGRESS IN LASER FUSION
The present objectives of the Drive Uniformity Program at the University of Rochester are (a) to determine the radiation and drive uniformity requirementsfordirectly driven targets, and(b)toachieve the required degree of uniformity with multiple beam irradiation of spherical targets using overlapping beams. This integrated program, which began almost two years ago, has made steady progress in m...
متن کاملEvolution of shell nonuniformities near peak compression of a spherical implosion.
The evolution of shell modulations near peak compression of direct-drive spherical-target implosions has been measured using the 60-beam, 30-kJ UV OMEGA laser system. The spatial size and amplitude of shell-areal-density modulations decrease during the target compression, then increase during its decompression as expected. The shell uniformity at peak compression has been increased by reducing ...
متن کاملShell mix in the compressed core of spherical implosions.
The Rayleigh-Taylor instability in its highly nonlinear, turbulent stage causes atomic-scale mixing of the shell material with the fuel in the compressed core of inertial-confinement fusion targets. The density of shell material mixed into the outer core of direct-drive plastic-shell spherical-target implosions on the 60-beam, OMEGA laser system is estimated to be 3.4(+/-1.2) g/cm(3) from time-...
