Z-Pinch Generated X-Rays in Static-Wall Hohlraum Geometry Demonstrate Potential for Indirect-Drive ICF Studies

Technical Report BOWERS, RICHARD; CHANDLER, GORDON; HEBRON, DAVID; ...

Hohlraums of full ignition scale (6-mm diameter by 7-mm length) have been heated by x-rays from a z-pinch magnet on Z to a variety of temperatures and pulse shapes which can be used to simulate the early phases of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) temperature drive. The pulse shape is varied by changing the on-axis target of the z pinch in a static-wall-hohlraum geometry. A 2-{micro}m-thick walled Cu cylindrical target of 8-mm diameter filled with 10 mg/cm{sup 3} CH, for example, produces foot-pulse conditions of {approx}85 eV for a duration of {approx}10 ns, while a solid cylindrical target of 5-mmmore »« less

Instantaneous x-ray radiation energy from laser produced polystyrene plasmas for shock ignition conditions

Journal Article Shang, Wanli; Wei, Huiyue; Li, Zhichao; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Laser target energy coupling mechanism is crucial in the shock ignition (SI) scheme, and x-ray radiation energy is a non-negligible portion of the laser produced plasma energy. To evaluate the x-ray radiation energy amount at conditions relevant to SI scheme, instantaneous x-ray radiation energy is investigated experimentally with continuum phase plates smoothed lasers irradiating layer polystyrene targets. Comparative laser pulses without and with shock spike are employed. With the measured x-ray angular distribution, full space x-ray radiation energy and conversion efficiency are observed. Instantaneous scaling law of x-ray conversion efficiency is obtained as a function of laser intensity and time.more »« less

Implementation of the thermonuclear process in D{sup 3}He-{sup 9}Be plasma on the basis of a Z pinch with an ultrafast laser ignition

Journal Article Kukulin, V - Physics of Atomic Nuclei

A new concept of inertial-magnetic confinement fusion is proposed. This concept is based on a high-current Z pinch combined with a femtosecond laser. The fusion target is composed of a D{sup 3}He fuel contained under a high pressure inside a sealed cylindrical capsule made from metallic {sup 9}Be. An electric discharge along the capsule preheats the target and transforms it into a state of compressed liner. A subsequent TW femtosecond-laser pulse focused on a target end face causes ultrafast cold ignition of a small portion of the D{sup 3}He fuel. This laser impact generates energetic electrons and ions, which triggermore »« less

Thermonuclear microexplosion ignition by imploding a disk of relativistic electrons

Journal Article Winterberg, F - Physics of Plasmas

A new ignition concept for thermonuclear reactions is described, in which an electron cloud produced by inductive charge injection and reaching the Brillouin limit, is magnetically compressed inside a long cylindrical solenoid. For sufficiently fast compression, the front of the cloud becomes a relativistically contracted annular disk of high-energy density, which upon impact on a grounded target leads to a cylindrical implosion easily exceeding the power fluxes required for the ignition of thermonuclear microexplosions. Unlike concepts proposed in the past to ignite thermonuclear microexplosions by relativistic electron beams, the energy delivered to the target is not in the form ofmore »« less
