Title: On three-dimensional reconstruction of a neutron/x-ray source from very few two-dimensional projections

Abstract

The neutron imaging system at the National Ignition Facility is an important diagnostic tool for measuring the two-dimensional size and shape of the source of neutrons produced in the burning deuterium-tritium plasma during the stagnation phase of inertial confinement fusion implosions. Few two-dimensional projections of neutronimages are available to reconstruct the three-dimensionalneutron source. In our paper, we present a technique that has been developed for the 3Dreconstruction of neutron and x-raysources from a minimal number of 2D projections. Here, we present the detailed algorithms used for this characterization and the results of reconstructedsources from experimental data collected at Omega.
