Space-time implosion characteristics of laser-irradiated fusion targets

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
An x-ray pinhole camera is coupled to an x-ray streak camera for detailed measurements of the implosion of laser fusion targets. Simultaneous spatial and temporal resolutions of 6 ..mu..m and 15 psec are attained. Resultant R and t implosion diagrams show time-dependent implosion velocities in the range of (3--4) x 10/sup 7/ cm/sec.
