Title: Exploration of the Transition from the Hydrodynamic-like to the Strongly Kinetic Regime in Shock-Driven Implosions

Abstract

Clear evidence of the transition from hydrodynamiclike to strongly kinetic shock-driven implosions is, for the first time, revealed and quantitatively assessed. Implosions with a range of initial equimolar D³He gas densities show that as the density is decreased, hydrodynamic simulations strongly diverge from and increasingly over-predict the observed nuclear yields, from a factor of ~2 at 3.1 mg/cm³ to a factor of 100 at 0.14 mg/cm³. (The corresponding Knudsen number, the ratio of ion mean-free path to minimum shell radius, varied from 0.3 to 9; similarly, the ratio of fusion burn duration to ion diffusion time, another figure of merit of kinetic effects, varied from 0.3 to 14.) This result is shown to be unrelated to the effects of hydrodynamic mix. As a first step to garner insight into this transition, a reduced ion kinetic (RIK) model that includes gradient-diffusion and loss-term approximations to several transport processes was implemented within the framework of a one-dimensional radiation-transport code. After empirical calibration, the RIK simulations reproduce the observed yield trends, largely as a result of ion diffusion and the depletion of the reacting tail ions.

Probing ion species separation and ion thermal decoupling in shock-driven implosions using multiple nuclear reaction histories

Journal Article Sio, H.; Larroche, O.; Atzeni, S.; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Simultaneously measured DD, DT, and D³He reaction histories are used to probe the impacts of multi-ion physics during the shock phase of inertial confinement fusion implosions. In these relatively hydrodynamiclike (burn-averaged Knudsen number ⟨N_K⟩ ~0.3) shock-driven implosions, average-ion hydrodynamic DUED simulations are able to reasonably match burnwidths, nuclear yields, and ion temperatures. However, kinetic-ion FPION simulations are able to better simulate the timing differences and time-resolved reaction rate ratios between DD, DT, and D³He reactions. FPION simulations suggest that the D³He/DT reaction rate ratio is most directly impacted by ion species separation between the ³He and T ions, whereas themore »« less

Measurement of charged-particle stopping in warm-dense plasma

Journal Article Zylstra, A. ; Frenje, J. ; Grabowski, P.; ... - Physical Review Letters

We measured the stopping of energetic protons in an isochorically-heated solid-density Be plasma with an electron temperature of ~32 eV, corresponding to moderately-coupled [(e²/a/(k_BT_e + E_F ) ~ 0.3] and moderately-degenerate [k_BT_e/E_F ~2] 'warm dense matter' (WDM) conditions. We present the first high-accuracy measurements of charged-particle energy loss through dense plasma, which shows an increased loss relative to cold matter, consistent with a reduced mean ionization potential. The data agree with stopping models based on an ad-hoc treatment of free and bound electrons, as well as the average-atom local-density approximation; this work is the first test of these theories inmore » WDM plasma.« less

Ion Thermal Decoupling and Species Separation in Shock-Driven Implosions

Journal Article Rinderknecht, Hans; Rosenberg, M.; Li, C.; ... - Physical Review Letters

Here, anomalous reduction of the fusion yields by 50% and anomalous scaling of the burn-averaged ion temperatures with the ion-species fraction has been observed for the first time in D³He-filled shock-driven inertial confinement fusion implosions. Two ion kinetic mechanisms are used to explain the anomalous observations: thermal decoupling of the D and ³He populations and diffusive species separation. The observed insensitivity of ion temperature to a varying deuterium fraction is shown to be a signature of ion thermal decoupling in shock-heated plasmas. The burn-averaged deuterium fraction calculated from the experimental data demonstrates a reduction in the average core deuterium density,more »« less

Kinetic mix mechanisms in shock-driven inertial confinement fusion implosions

Journal Article Rinderknecht, H.; Sio, H.; Li, C.; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Shock-driven implosions of thin-shell capsules, or ''exploding pushers,'' generate low-density, high-temperature plasmas in which hydrodynamic instability growth is negligible and kinetic effects can play an important role. Data from implosions of thin deuterated-plastic shells with hydroequivalent D³He gas fills ranging from pure deuterium to pure ³He [H. G. Rinderknecht et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 135001 (2014)] were obtained to evaluate non-hydrodynamic fuel-shell mix mechanisms. Simulations of the experiments including reduced ion kinetic models support ion diffusion as an explanation for these data. Several additional kinetic mechanisms are investigated and compared to the data to determine which are important inmore »« less

Using inertial fusion implosions to measure the $T + {}^{3}{He}$ fusion cross section at nucleosynthesis-relevant energies

Journal Article Zylstra, Alex; Herrmann, Hans; Johnson, M.; ... - Physical Review Letters

Light nuclei were created during big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). Standard BBN theory, using rates inferred from accelerator-beam data, cannot explain high levels of 6 Li in low-metallicity stars. Using high-energy-density plasmas we measure the T ( 3 He , γ ) 6 Li reaction rate, a candidate for anomalously high 6 Li production; we find that the rate is too low to explain the observations, and different than values used in common BBN models. This is the first data directly relevant to BBN, and also the first use of laboratory plasmas, at comparable conditions to astrophysical systems, to address a problemmore » in nuclear astrophysics.« less
