Radiochemical tracers as a mix diagnostic for the ignition double-shell capsule
One of the most important challenges confronting laser-driven capsule implosion experiments will be a quantitative evaluation of the implosion dynamics. Since these experiments will encounter extreme conditions of pressure and temperature, establishing robust, sensitive diagnostics will be difficult. Radiochemical signatures provide insight into material mixing and laser drive asymmetry and complement x-ray and other nuclear diagnostics, since the relevant nuclear reactions sample core implosion conditions directly. Simulations of an ignition double shell target indicate that several experimentally accessible isomeric ratios will be suitable monitors of mix.
