Experimental Investigation of a Direct-Drive Shock Wave Heated and Compressed Planar Target relevant to ICF
An experimental investigation of shock wave induced heating and compression in planar targets relevant to direct-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF) was conducted on the OMEGA laser system. A physical understanding of shock wave heating, radiative heating, and heating by energetic electrons in direct-drive ICF is necessary because the achievement of energy gain requires accurate control of ...
متن کاملObservation of finite-wavelength screening in high-energy-density matter
A key component for the description of charged particle systems is the screening of the Coulomb interaction between charge carriers. First investigated in the 1920s by Debye and Hückel for electrolytes, charge screening is important for determining the structural and transport properties of matter as diverse as astrophysical and laboratory plasmas, nuclear matter such as quark-gluon plasmas, el...
متن کاملObservations of continuum depression in warm dense matter with x-ray Thomson scattering.
Detailed measurements of the electron densities, temperatures, and ionization states of compressed CH shells approaching pressures of 50 Mbar are achieved with spectrally resolved x-ray scattering. Laser-produced 9 keV x-rays probe the plasma during the transient state of three-shock coalescence. High signal-to-noise x-ray scattering spectra show direct evidence of continuum depression in highl...
متن کاملX-ray scattering measurements of dissociation-induced metallization of dynamically compressed deuterium
Hydrogen, the simplest element in the universe, has a surprisingly complex phase diagram. Because of applications to planetary science, inertial confinement fusion and fundamental physics, its high-pressure properties have been the subject of intense study over the past two decades. While sophisticated static experiments have probed hydrogen's structure at ever higher pressures, studies examini...
متن کاملEvolution of elastic x-ray scattering in laser-shocked warm dense lithium.
We have studied the dynamics of warm dense Li with near-elastic x-ray scattering. Li foils were heated and compressed using shock waves driven by 4-ns-long laser pulses. Separate 1-ns-long laser pulses were used to generate a bright source of 2.96 keV Cl Ly- alpha photons for x-ray scattering, and the spectrum of scattered photons was recorded at a scattering angle of 120 degrees using a highly...
