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

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7092485
;
This document describes 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.
