Developing a high-flux, high-energy continuum backlighter for extended x-ray absorption fine structure measurements at the National Ignition Facility

Journal Article Krygier, A. ; Coppari, F. ; Kemp, G. E. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for in situ characterization of matter in the high energy density regime. An EXAFS platform is currently being developed on the National Ignition Facility. Development of a suitable X-ray backlighter involves minimizing the temporal duration and source size while maximizing spectral smoothness and brightness. One approach involves imploding a spherical shell, which generates a high-flux X-ray flash at stagnation. Furthermore we present results from a series of experiments comparing the X-ray source properties produced by imploded empty and Ar-filled capsules.

Using time-resolved penumbral imaging to measure low hot spot x-ray emission signals from capsule implosions at the National Ignition Facility

Journal Article Glenzer, Siegfried H. ; Bishel, D. T. ; Bachmann, B. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Here, we have developed and fielded a new x-ray pinhole-imaging snout that exploits time-resolved penumbral imaging of low-emission hot spots in capsule implosion experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). We report on results for a series of indirectly driven Be capsule implosions that aim at measuring x-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) spectra at extreme density conditions near stagnation. In these implosions, x-ray emission at stagnation is reduced by 100 – 1000x compared to standard inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions to mitigate undesired continuum background in the XRTS spectra. Our snout design enables not only measurements of peak x-ray emission times,more »« less

X-ray continuum spectroscopy of inertial confinement fusion implosions at the National Ignition Facility

Journal Article Stoupin, S. ; MacPhee, A. G. ; Kozioziemski, B. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

A methodology for measuring x-ray continuum spectra of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions is described. The method relies on the use of ConSpec, a high-throughput spectrometer using a highly annealed pyrolytic graphite crystal , which measures the spectra in the ≃20–30 keV range. Due to its conical shape, the crystal is sagittally focusing a Bragg-reflected x-ray spectrum into a line, which enhances the recorded x-ray emission signal above the high neutron-induced background accompanying ICF implosions at the National Ignition Facility. To improve the overall measurement accuracy, the sensitivity of the spectrometer measured in an off-line x-ray laboratory setting was revised. Themore »« less

Novel Characterization of Capsule X-Ray Drive at the National Ignition Facility [Using ViewFactor Experiments to Measure Hohlraum X-Radiation Drive from the Capsule Point-of-View in Ignition Experiments on the National Ignition Facility]

Journal Article MacLaren, S. A. ; Schneider, M. B. ; Widmann, K. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Here, indirect drive experiments at the National Ignition Facility are designed to achieve fusion by imploding a fuel capsule with x rays from a laser-driven hohlraum. Previous experiments have been unable to determine whether a deficit in measured ablator implosion velocity relative to simulations is due to inadequate models of the hohlraum or ablator physics. ViewFactor experiments allow for the first time a direct measure of the x-ray drive from the capsule point of view. The experiments show a 15%–25% deficit relative to simulations and thus explain nearly all of the disagreement with the velocity data. In addition, the datamore »« less
