Title: A Particle X-ray Temporal Diagnostic (PXTD) for studies of kinetic, multi-ion effects, and ion-electron equilibration rates in Inertial Confinement Fusion plasmas at OMEGA (invited)

Abstract

Here, a Particle X-ray Temporal Diagnostic (PXTD) has been implemented on OMEGA for simultaneous time-resolved measurements of several nuclear products as well as the x-ray continuum produced in High Energy Density Plasmas and Inertial Confinement Fusion implosions. The PXTD removes systematic timing uncertainties typically introduced by using multiple instruments, and it has been used to measure DD, DT, D³He, and T³He reaction histories and the emission history of the x-ray core continuum with relative timing uncertainties within ±10-20 ps. This enables, for the first time, accurate and simultaneous measurements of the x-ray emission histories, nuclear reaction histories, their time differences, and measurements of T_i(t) and T_e(t) from which an assessment of multiple-ion-fluid effects, kinetic effects during the shock-burn phase, and ion-electron equilibration rates can be made.

Observations of Multiple Nuclear Reaction Histories and Fuel-Ion Species Dynamics in Shock-Driven Inertial Confinement Fusion Implosions

Journal Article Sio, Hong ; Frenje, J. A. ; Le, Ari Yitzchak ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Fuel-ion species dynamics in DT³He-gas-filled Inertial Confinement Fusion implosion is quantitatively assessed for the first time using simultaneously measured D³He and DT reaction histories. Here, these reaction histories are measured with the Particle X-ray Temporal Diagnostic, which captures the relative timing between different nuclear burns with unprecedented precision (~10 ps). The observed 50±10 ps earlier D³He reaction history timing (relative to DT) cannot be explained by average-ion hydrodynamic simulations, and is attributed to fuel-ion species separation between the D, T, and ³He ions during shock convergence and rebound. At the onset of the shock burn, inferred ³He/T fuel ratio inmore »« less

Probing ion species separation and ion thermal decoupling in shock-driven implosions using multiple nuclear reaction histories

Journal Article Sio, H. ; Larroche, O. ; Atzeni, S. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Simultaneously measured DD, DT, and D³He reaction histories are used to probe the impacts of multi-ion physics during the shock phase of inertial confinement fusion implosions. In these relatively hydrodynamiclike (burn-averaged Knudsen number ⟨N_K⟩ ~0.3) shock-driven implosions, average-ion hydrodynamic DUED simulations are able to reasonably match burnwidths, nuclear yields, and ion temperatures. However, kinetic-ion FPION simulations are able to better simulate the timing differences and time-resolved reaction rate ratios between DD, DT, and D³He reactions. FPION simulations suggest that the D³He/DT reaction rate ratio is most directly impacted by ion species separation between the ³He and T ions, whereas themore »« less

The phase-2 particle x-ray temporal diagnostic for simultaneous measurement of multiple x-ray and nuclear emission histories from OMEGA implosions (invited)

Journal Article Kabadi, N. ; Adrian, P. ; Stoeckl, C. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Electron-temperature (T_e) measurements in implosions provide valuable diagnostic information, as T_e is negligibly affected by residual flows and other non-thermal effects unlike ion-temperature inferred from a fusion product spectrum. In OMEGA cryogenic implosions, measurement of T_e(t) can be used to investigate effects related to time-resolved hot-spot energy balance. The newly implemented phase-2 Particle X-ray Temporal Diagnostic (PXTD) utilizes four fast-rise (~15 ps) scintillator-channels with distinct x-ray filtering. Titanium and stepped aluminum filtering were chosen to maximize detector sensitivity in the 10–20 keV range, as it has been shown that these x rays have similar density and temperature weighting to the emitted deuterium–tritiummore »« less

Using inertial fusion implosions to measure the $T + {}^{3}{He}$ fusion cross section at nucleosynthesis-relevant energies

Journal Article Zylstra, Alex B. ; Herrmann, Hans W. ; Johnson, M. Gatu ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Light nuclei were created during big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). Standard BBN theory, using rates inferred from accelerator-beam data, cannot explain high levels of 6 Li in low-metallicity stars. Using high-energy-density plasmas we measure the T ( 3 He , γ ) 6 Li reaction rate, a candidate for anomalously high 6 Li production; we find that the rate is too low to explain the observations, and different than values used in common BBN models. This is the first data directly relevant to BBN, and also the first use of laboratory plasmas, at comparable conditions to astrophysical systems, to address a problemmore » in nuclear astrophysics.« less

Fuel–shell mix and yield degradation in kinetic shock-driven inertial confinement fusion implosions

Journal Article Sio, Hong ; Larroche, Olivier ; Bose, Arijit ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Fuel–shell mix in kinetic plasma conditions is probed using nuclear and x-ray self-emission in shock-driven, D³He-gas-filled inertial confinement fusion implosions. As initial gas fill density decreases, measured nuclear yields and ion temperatures are lower than expected as compared to radiation-hydrodynamic simulations. Spatially and temporally resolved x-ray emissions indicate significant mixing at the fuel–shell interface in implosions with low initial gas fill density. In conclusion, this observed fuel–shell mix introduces a substantial amount of shell ions into the center of the implosion prior to and during shock flash and is the key mechanism needed in the kinetic-ion simulations to match experimentalmore » nuclear yields.« less
