Title: Systematic Fuel Cavity Asymmetries in Directly Driven Inertial Confinement Fusion Implosions

Abstract

Here, we present narrow-band self-emission x-ray images from a titanium tracer layer placed at the fuel-shell interface in 60-laser-beam implosion experiments at the OMEGA facility. The images are acquired during deceleration with inferred convergences of ~9-14. Novel here is that a systematically observed asymmetry of the emission is linked, using full sphere 3D implosion modeling, to performance-limiting low mode asymmetry of the drive.

Shell stability and conditions analyzed using a new method of extracting shell areal density maps from spectrally resolved images of direct-drive inertial confinement fusion implosions

Journal Article Johns, H. M. ; Mancini, R. C. ; Nagayama, T. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

In warm target direct-drive inertial confinement fusion implosion experiments performed at the OMEGA laser facility, plastic micro-balloons doped with a titanium tracer layer in the shell and filled with deuterium gas were imploded using a low-adiabat shaped laser pulse. Continuum radiation emitted in the core is transmitted through the tracer layer and the resulting spectrum recorded with a gated multi-monochromatic x-ray imager (MMI). Titanium K-shell line absorption spectra observed in the data are due to transitions in L-shell titanium ions driven by the backlighting continuum. The MMI data consist of an array of spectrally resolved images of the implosion. Thesemore »« less

3D xRAGE simulation of inertial confinement fusion implosion with imposed mode 2 laser drive asymmetry

Journal Article Gatu Johnson, M. ; Haines, B. M. ; Adrian, P. J. ; ... - High Energy Density Physics

Low-mode asymmetries represent an important obstacle to achieving high-gain inertial confinement fusion implosions. As a step in learning how to control such effects, an OMEGA experiment with imposed mode 2 laser drive asymmetries was done to study the expected signatures of this type of asymmetry [M. Gatu Johnson et al., PRE 2018]. In the present work, a 3D xRAGE simulation including the stalk mount has been brought to bear on the data from that experiment. Furthermore, comprehensive comparisons between simulated and measured observables are made. Good agreement between simulated and measured x-ray image-inferred shell trajectories, bang times and neutron emissionmore »« less

Impact of stalk on directly driven inertial confinement fusion implosions

Journal Article Gatu Johnson, M. ; Adrian, P. J. ; Anderson, K. S. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Low-mode asymmetries have emerged as one of the primary challenges to achieving high-performing inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions. In direct-drive ICF, an important potential seed of such asymmetries is the capsule stalk mount, the impact of which has remained a contentious question. In this paper, we describe the results from an experiment on the OMEGA laser with intentional offsets at varying angles to the capsule stalk mount, which clearly demonstrates the impact of the stalk mount on implosion dynamics. The angle between stalk and offset is found to significantly impact observables. Specifically, a larger directional flow is observed in neutronmore »« less

Mitigation of mode-one asymmetry in laser-direct-drive inertial confinement fusion implosions

Journal Article Mannion, O. M. ; Igumenshchev, I. V. ; Anderson, K. S. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Nonuniformities present in the laser illumination and target in laser-driven inertial confinement fusion experiments lead to an asymmetric compression of the target, resulting in an inefficient conversion of shell kinetic energy to thermal energy of the hot-spot plasma. In this paper, the effects of asymmetric compression of cryogenic deuterium tritium laser-direct-drive implosions are examined using a suite of nuclear and x-ray diagnostics on the OMEGA laser. The neutron-averaged hot-spot velocity (u^→_hs) and apparent ion temperature (T_i) asymmetry are determined from neutron time-of-flight measurements of the primary deuterium tritium fusion neutron energy spectrum, while the areal density (ρR) of the compressedmore »« less

Impact of imposed mode 2 laser drive asymmetry on inertial confinement fusion implosions

Journal Article Gatu Johnson, M. ; Appelbe, B. D. ; Chittenden, J. P. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Low-mode asymmetries have emerged as one of the primary challenges to achieving high-performing inertial confinement fusion implosions. These asymmetries seed flows in the implosions, which will manifest as modifications to the measured ion temperature (T_ion) as inferred from the broadening of primary neutron spectra. The effects are important to understand (i) to learn to control and mitigate low-mode asymmetries and (ii) to experimentally more closely capture thermal T_ion used as input in implosion performance metric calculations. Here, in this paper, results from and simulations of a set of experiments with a seeded mode 2 in the laser drive are described.more »« less
