Title: X-ray source development for EXAFS measurements on the National Ignition Facility

Abstract

We present that extended X-ray absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) measurements require a bright, spectrally smooth, and broad-band x-ray source. In a laser facility, such an x-ray source can be generated by a laser-driven capsule implosion. In order to optimize the x-ray emission, different capsule types and laser irradiations have been tested at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). A crystal spectrometer is used to disperse the x-rays and high efficiency image plate detectors are used to measure the absorption spectra in transmission geometry. Finally, EXAFS measurements at the K-edge of iron at ambient conditions have been obtained for the first time on the NIF laser, and the requirements for optimization have been established.

Progress Toward Ignition on the National Ignition Facility

Technical Report Kauffman, R L

The principal approach to ignition on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) is indirect drive. A schematic of an ignition target is shown in Figure 1. The laser beams are focused through laser entrance holes at each end of a high-Z cylindrical case, or hohlraum. The lasers irradiate the hohlraum walls producing x-rays that ablate and compress the fuel capsule in the center of the hohlraum. The hohlraum is made of Au, U, or other high-Z material. For ignition targets, the hohlraum is {approx}0.5 cm diameter by {approx}1 cm in length. The hohlraum absorbs the incident laser energy producing x-rays formore »« less

Dynamic Hohlraums as x-ray sources in high-energy density science

Journal Article Hansen, J F ; Glendinning, S G ; Heeter, R F ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

The first demonstration of laser driven dynamic Hohlraums (LDDH) as a spectrally smooth backlighter source for opacity and temperature measurements through absorption spectrometry of materials in local thermodynamic equilibrium at temperatures >150 eV has been made. This is a crucial temperature regime for future astrophysics and ignition fusion experiments at the nearly completed National Ignition Facility (NIF) [E. I. Moses and C. R. Wuest, Fusion Sci. Technol. 47, 314 (2005)] at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The new backlighter consists of a LDDH filled with either krypton or argon that implodes to create an x-ray flash.

Measurements have been made of the in-flight dynamics of imploding capsules indirectly driven by laser energies of 1-1.7 MJ at the National Ignition Facility [Miller et al., Nucl. Fusion 44, 228 (2004)]. These experiments were part of the National Ignition Campaign [Landen et al., Phys. Plasmas 18, 051002 (2011)] to iteratively optimize the inputs required to achieve thermonuclear ignition in the laboratory. Using gated or streaked hard x-ray radiography, a suite of ablator performance parameters, including the time-resolved radius, velocity, mass, and thickness, have been determined throughout the acceleration history of surrogate gas-filled implosions. These measurements have been used tomore »« less

Cryogenic thermonuclear fuel implosions on the National Ignition Facility

Journal Article Glenzer, S H ; Callahan, D A ; MacKinnon, A J ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The first inertial confinement fusion implosion experiments with equimolar deuterium-tritium thermonuclear fuel have been performed on the National Ignition Facility. These experiments use 0.17 mg of fuel with the potential for ignition and significant fusion yield conditions. The thermonuclear fuel has been fielded as a cryogenic layer on the inside of a spherical plastic capsule that is mounted in the center of a cylindrical gold hohlraum. Heating the hohlraum with 192 laser beams for a total laser energy of 1.6 MJ produces a soft x-ray field with 300 eV temperature. The ablation pressure produced by the radiation field compresses themore »« less

Conceptual design of initial opacity experiments on the national ignition facility

Journal Article Heeter, R. F. ; Bailey, J. E. ; Craxton, R. S. ; ... - Journal of Plasma Physics

Accurate models of X-ray absorption and re-emission in partly stripped ions are necessary to calculate the structure of stars, the performance of hohlraums for inertial confinement fusion and many other systems in high-energy-density plasma physics. Despite theoretical progress, a persistent discrepancy exists with recent experiments at the Sandia Z facility studying iron in conditions characteristic of the solar radiative–convective transition region. The increased iron opacity measured at Z could help resolve a longstanding issue with the standard solar model, but requires a radical departure for opacity theory. To replicate the Z measurements, an opacity experiment has been designed for the National Facility (NIF). The design uses established techniques scaled to NIF. A laser-heated hohlraum will produce X-ray-heated uniform iron plasmas in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) at temperaturesmore »« less
