An in-flight radiography platform to measure hydrodynamic instability growth in inertial confinement fusion capsules at the National Ignition Facility

Journal Article Raman, K.; Smalyuk, V.; Casey, D.; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A new in-flight radiography platform has been established at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) to measure Rayleigh–Taylor and Richtmyer–Meshkov instability growth in inertial confinement fusion capsules. The platform has been tested up to a convergence ratio of 4. An experimental campaign is underway to measure the growth of pre-imposed sinusoidal modulations of the capsule surface, as a function of wavelength, for a pair of ignition-relevant laser drives: a “low-foot” drive representative of what was fielded during the National Ignition Campaign (NIC) [Edwards et al., Phys. Plasmas 20, 070501 (2013)] and the new high-foot [Dittrich et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 112,more »« less

Measurement of hydrodynamic growth near peak velocity in an inertial confinement fusion capsule implosion using a self-radiography technique

Journal Article Pickworth, L.; Hammel, B.; Smalyuk, V.; ... - Physical Review Letters

First measurements of hydrodynamic growth near peak implosion velocity in an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosion at the National Ignition Facility were obtained using a self-radiographing technique and a preimposed Legendre mode 40, λ = 140 μm, sinusoidal perturbation. These are the first measurements of the total growth at the most unstable mode from acceleration Rayleigh-Taylor achieved in any ICF experiment to date, showing growth of the areal density perturbation of ~7000×. Measurements were made at convergences of ~5 to ~10× at both the waist and pole of the capsule, demonstrating simultaneous measurements of the growth factors from both linesmore »« less

Review of hydrodynamic instability experiments in inertially confined fusion implosions on National Ignition Facility

Journal Article Smalyuk, V.; Weber, C.; Landen, O.; ... - Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion

Hydrodynamic instabilities are a major factor in degradation of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions. In the highest performing implosions on National Ignition Facility, yield amplification (YA) due to alpha particle heating approached ~3, while YA of ~15–30 is needed for ignition. Understanding and mitigation of the instabilities are critical to achieving ignition. This article reviews several experimental platforms that have been developed to directly measure these instabilities in all phases of ICF implosions. Measurements of ripple-shock propagation at OMEGA laser has provided results on initial seeds for the instabilities in three ablators—plastic (CH), beryllium, and high-density carbon. Additionally, at themore »« less
