Improving the off-axis spatial resolution and dynamic range of the NIF X-ray streak cameras (invited)
Abstract
Here, we report simulationsand experiments that demonstrate an increasein spatial resolution ofthe NIF core diagnostic x-ray streak camerasby a factor of two, especially off axis. A designwas achieved by usinga corrector electron optic to flatten the field curvature at the detector planeand corroborated by measurement. In addition, particle in cell simulations were performed to identify theregions in the streak camera that contribute most to space charge blurring. Our simulations provide a tool for convolving syntheticpre-shot spectra with the instrument functionso signal levels can be set to maximize dynamic range for the relevant part of the streak record.
