A system based on a LaBr3(Ce) scintillator and digital data acquisition is discussed in view of γ-ray spectroscopy measurements on a fusion burning plasma. High energy resolution and high rate capability of the system are demonstrated in laboratory tests and in dedicated experiments at nuclear accelerators. Preliminary results on sensitivity of the detector to 14 MeV neutrons are presented.

LLE Review, Volume 152 209 Under the facility governance plan implemented in FY08 to formalize the scheduling of the Omega Laser Facility as a National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) User Facility, Omega Facility shots are allocated by campaign. The majority (68.1%) of the FY17 target shots were allocated to the Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) Campaign conducted by integrated teams fr...

Nuclear reactions are the driver of evolution many astrophysical objects. In environment their respective reaction rates are, however, modified due to presence other charges. The effects depend on relative importance Coulomb energy versus thermal and distinguished between weak strong screening. extreme case pycnonuclear reactions, fusion can be induced by zero-point motion nuclei in a crystal. ...
