Stabilization of high-compression, indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion implosions using a 4-shock adiabat-shaped drive

Journal Article MacPhee, A. G. ; Peterson, J. L. ; Casey, D. T. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Hydrodynamic instabilities and poor fuel compression are major factors for capsule performance degradation in ignition experiments on the National Ignition Facility. Using a recently developed laser drive profile with a decaying first shock to tune the ablative Richtmyer-Meshkov (ARM) instability and subsequent in-flight Rayleigh-Taylor growth, we have demonstrated reduced growth compared to the standard ignition pulse whilst maintaining conditions for a low fuel adiabat needed for increased compression. Here, using in-flight x-ray radiography of pre-machined modulations, the first growth measurements using this new ARM-tuned drive have demonstrated instability growth reduction of ~4× compared to the original design at a convergencemore »« less

Improved Performance of High Areal Density Indirect Drive Implosions at the National Ignition Facility using a Four-Shock Adiabat Shaped Drive

Journal Article Casey, D. T. ; Milovich, J. L. ; Smalyuk, V. A. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Hydrodynamic instabilities can cause capsule defects and other perturbations to grow and degrade implosion performance in ignition experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). Here, we show the first experimental demonstration that a strong unsupported first shock in indirect drive implosions at the NIF reduces ablation front instability growth leading to a 3 to 10 times higher yield with fuel ρR>1 g/cm². As a result, this work shows the importance of ablation front instability growth during the National Ignition Campaign and may provide a path to improved performance at the high compression necessary for ignition.

Direct Measurement of Ice-Ablator Interface Motion for Instability Mitigation in Indirect Drive ICF Implosions

Journal Article Do, Alexandre ; Weber, Christopher R. ; Dewald, Eduard L. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

In indirect drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions hydrodynamic instability growth at the imploding capsule ablator-DT fuel interface can reduce fuel compressibility and inject ablator into the hot spot hence reducing hot spot pressure and temperature. As a mitigation strategy, a gentle acceleration of this interface is predicted by simulations and theory to significantly reduce this instability growth in the early stage of the implosion. We have performed high-contrast, time-resolved x-ray refraction enhanced radiography (RER) to accurately measure the level of acceleration as a function of the initial laser drive time history for indirect-drive implosions on the National Ignition Facility.more »« less
