Adiabat 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 کاملC A New Shearing Interferometer for Real - Time Characterization of Cryogenic Laser
As discussed in the preceding article, direct-drive inertial confinement fusion targets require a cryogenically cooled spherical shell in which the DT fuel is condensed in a uniform layer on the inner wall. Optical interferometry is the predominant technique used to characterize the thickness and uniformity of the cryogenic fuel layer. In addition to inherent optical limitations such as spheric...

متن کاملImplosion experiments using glass ablators for direct-drive inertial confinement fusion.
Direct-drive implosions with 20-microm-thick glass shells were conducted on the Omega Laser Facility to test the performance of high-Z glass ablators for direct-drive, inertial confinement fusion. The x-ray signal caused by hot electrons generated by two-plasmon-decay instability was reduced by more than approximately 40x and hot-electron temperature by approximately 2x in the glass compared to...
متن کاملThe Effect of Resonance Absorption in OMEGA Direct-Drive Designs and Experiments
LLE Review, Volume 111 179 Introduction Ignition of thermonuclear fuel (DT mixture) requires a fuel areal density L0.3 g/cm2 and a hot-spot temperature L10 keV (Refs. 1 and 2). Such conditions are predicted to be achieved in direct-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF) designs, in which a cryogenic spherical DT-ice-shell target is imploded using direct illumination by intense laser beams.3–7 ...
