Title: Hydrodynamic Issues in PAMS Mandrel Target Fabrication

Conference ·
OSTI ID:15005060

Imperfections in PAMS mandrels critically govern the quality of final ICF targets. Imperfections in the mandrels can have a wide range of origins. Here, they present observations of 3 types of imperfections, and data to support the proposal that hydrodynamic factors during the curing of the mandrel are potential causes of these imperfections.
