Novel x-ray backlighting method for Rayleigh-Taylor instability measurements on ablatively driven targets

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5208248
;
We describe a face-on x-ray backlighting method that does not require a dedicated laser beam and a separate x-ray source. This method is used to measure the lateral mass transfer characteristic of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in ablatively accelerated, laser driven targets.
