Initial Performance of the High-Pressure DT-Filling Portion of the Cryogenic Target Handling System
6 LLE Review, Volume 81 Cryogenic targets for the OMEGA laser are polymer shells of ~1-mm diameter and 1to 5-μm wall thickness that require internal D2 or DT solid layers of ~100-μm thickness. Targets containing D2 may also be doped with gaseous He 3 to aid in diagnosing the implosion using the charged-particle spectrometer. To achieve the required inner ice layer, shells are first permeated to...
متن کاملModeling Temperature and Pressure Gradients During Cooling of Thin-Walled Cryogenic Targets
118 LLE Review, Volume 94 Introduction High-quality targets must be provided to achieve successful results from OMEGA cryogenic experiments.1 One type of target is a thin-walled polymer capsule with a fuel layer of solid deuterium (D2) or deuterium/tritium (DT) ice, approximately 100 mm thick, uniformly distributed on the inner wall of the capsule.2 To create the fuel layer, the capsule is plac...
متن کاملHow Good is the Bright Ring Characterization for Uniformity of Deuterium Ice Layers within Cryogenic Nuclear Fusion Targets?
Cryogenic targets, thin plastic shells surrounding thick cryogenic deuterium layers, are used to achieve nuclear fusion. These targets are irradiated by lasers causing the targets to implode and create fusion reactions by forcing the deuterium inside to fuse together. The cryogenic targets are pressurized with deuterium gas, and then the targets are chilled to about 20K to freeze an ice layer o...

LLE Review, Volume 90 49 Introduction The base-line direct-drive ignition target design for the National Ignition Facility (NIF)1 is a thick cryogenic DT-ice layer enclosed in a thin CH shell.2,3 In direct-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF)4 a spherical target is illuminated by a large number of laser beams to provide a spherically symmetric implosion. Target implosions with cryogenic DT f...
متن کاملParasitic Effect of Tube Wall Longitudinal Heat Conduction on Cryogenic Gas Temperature
Longitudinal heat conduction is an important parameter in the cryogenic field, especially in cryogenic heat exchangers. In the present work, the parasitic effect of tube wall longitudinal heat conduction on temperature measurement has been studied in cryogenic laminar hydrogen flow. The effects of various parameters such as wall cold end temperature, wall thermal conductivity, gas volumetric fl...
