Modelling debris and shrapnel generation in inertial confinement fusion experiments

Journal Article Eder, D.; Fisher, A.; Koniges, A.; ... - Nuclear Fusion

Modelling and mitigation of damage are crucial for safe and economical operation of high-power laser facilities. Experiments at the National Ignition Facility use a variety of targets with a range of laser energies spanning more than two orders of magnitude (~14 kJ to ~1.9 MJ). Low-energy inertial confinement fusion experiments are used to study early-time x-ray load symmetry on the capsule, shock timing, and other physics issues. For these experiments, a significant portion of the target is not completely vaporized and late-time (hundreds of ns) simulations are required to study the generation of debris and shrapnel from these targets.

Nuclear diagnostics in support of inertial confinement fusion experiments (invited)

Journal Article Moran, M; Hall, J - Review of Scientific Instruments

As the yields of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments increase to National Ignition Facility levels new diagnostic techniques for studying details of fusion burn behavior will become feasible. The new techniques will provide improved measurements of fusion burn temperature and history. Improved temperature measurements might be achieved with magnetic spectroscopy of fusion neutrons. High-bandwidth fusion reaction history will be measured with fusion-specific {gamma}-ray diagnostics. Additional energy-resolved {gamma}-ray diagnostics might be able to study a selection of specific behaviors during fusion burn. Present ICF yields greater that 10{sup 13} neutrons are sufficient to demonstrate the basic methods that underlie the newmore »« less

Demonstration of an x-ray ring-aperture microscope for inertial-confinement fusion experiments

Journal Article Ress, D; Lerche, R; Da Silva, L - Applied Physics Letters; (United States)

We are investigating the use of annular (ring) apertures to image high-energy x-ray emission ({gt}4 keV) from inertial-confinement fusion targets. In our scheme, a coded image is formed on a detector (such as x-ray film) by x rays that pass through a narrow annulus cut in a sheet of high-Z material such as gold. Signal-to-noise ratio calculations show a factor of 10 advantage of ring-aperture imaging over conventional pinhole imaging. Simultaneous pinhole and ring-aperture images of small ({approx}20 {mu}m diam), laser-driven, x-ray sources were obtained in recent experiments. We used a 10-{mu}m-wide, 1-mm-diam annulus in a 6-{mu}m thickness of gold;more »« less

Production and characterization of doped mandrels for inertial-confinement fusion experiments

Journal Article Cook, R; Overturf, III, G; Buckley, S; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology, A (Vacuum, Surfaces and Films); (United States)

A key feature of current inertial-confinement fusion (ICF) experiments is the incorporation of dopant atoms into the thin polymer microshell which, in a finished ICF capsule, forms its inner wall. These dopants provide a spectroscopic signal during the implosion that can be used to diagnose the degree of mix at the capsule--fuel interface. The high-[ital Z] dopants can also be used to directly image the fuel--pusher interface. The current status of doped mandrel development is reviewed, with a focus on the mandrel surface smoothness. With the development of unique surface mapping characterization tools which will be described, it has beenmore »« less

High convergence, indirect drive inertial confinement fusion experiments at Nova

Journal Article Lerche, R; Cable, M; Hatchett, S; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

High convergence, indirect drive implosion experiments have been done at the Nova Laser Facility. The targets were deuterium and deuterium/tritium filled, glass microballoons driven symmetrically by x rays produced in a surrounding uranium hohlraum. Implosions achieved convergence ratios of 24:1 with fuel densities of 19 g/cm{sup 3}; this is equivalent to the range required for the hot spot of ignition scale capsules. The implosions used a shaped drive and were well characterized by a variety of laser and target measurements. The primary measurement was the fuel density using the secondary neutron technique (neutrons from the reaction {sup 2}H({sup 3}H,{ital n}){supmore »« less
