چکیده

We demonstrate the hohlraum radiation temperature and symmetry required for ignition-scale inertial confinement fusion capsule implosions. Cryogenic gas-filled hohlraums with 2.2 mm-diameter capsules are heated with unprecedented laser energies of 1.2 MJ delivered by 192 ultraviolet laser beams on the National Ignition Facility. Laser backscatter measurements show that these hohlraums absorb 87% to 91% of the incident laser power resulting in peak radiation temperatures of T(RAD)=300 eV and a symmetric implosion to a 100 μm diameter hot core.

A novel three-axis cylindrical hohlraum designed for inertial confinement fusion ignition

A novel ignition hohlraum for indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion is proposed, which is named three-axis cylindrical hohlraum (TACH). TACH is a kind of 6 laser entrance holes (LEHs) hohlraum, which is orthogonally jointed of three cylindrical hohlraums. Laser beams are injected through every entrance hole with the same incident angle of 55°. A view-factor simulation result shows that the...

Experimental demonstration of X-ray drive enhancement with rugby-shaped hohlraums.

Rugby-shaped hohlraums have been suggested as a way to enhance x-ray drive in the indirect drive approach to inertial confinement fusion. This Letter presents an experimental comparison of rugby-shaped and cylinder hohlraums used for D2 and D3He-filled capsules implosions on the Omega laser facility, demonstrating an increase of x-ray flux by 18% in rugby-shaped hohlraums. The highest yields to...

Hot-Core Characterization of a Cryogenic D2 Target at Peak Neutron Production in a Direct-Drive Spherical Implosion

LLE Review, Volume 97 11 In inertial confinement fusion1 (ICF), a spherical shell is irradiated either directly by a large number of overlapping laser beams (direct drive) or by x rays produced in a high-Z “hohlraum” (indirect drive).2 During the laser-driven acceleration phase of an implosion, the target compresses while it converges to the center, then decelerates to peak compression as the c...
