Determination of fuel density-radius product of inertial confinement fusion targets by neutron activation
Journal Article
·
· J. Appl. Phys.; (United States)
The quality of the confinement and thermonuclear burn of inertial confinement fusion targets scales as the density-radius product rhoR of the fuel. Neutron activation of trace elements placed in the fuel can be used to directly measure rhoR. This concept and several candidate tracers, /sup 14/N, /sup 40/Ar, and /sup 79/Br, are discussed.
