Title: Interpreting inertial fusion neutron spectra

Abstract

A burning laser fusion plasma produces a neutron spectrum first described by Brysk (1973 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 15 611). This and more recent work deals with the spectrum produced by a single fluid element. The distribution of temperatures and velocities in multiple fluid elements combine in any real spectrum; here we derive formulas for how the neutron spectrum averages these contributions. The single element momentum spectrum is accurately Gaussian, but the multi-element spectrum exhibits higher moments. In particular, the skew and kurtosis are likely to be large enough to measure. Even the single fluid element spectrum may exhibit measurable directional anisotropy, so that instruments with different lines of sight should see different yields, mean velocities, mean temperatures, and higher moments. Finally, we briefly discuss how scattering in the imploded core modifies the neutron spectrum by changing the relative weighting of fuel regions with different temperatures and velocities.

Impact of temperature-velocity distribution on fusion neutron peak shape

Journal Article Munro, D. H. ; Field, J. E. ; Hatarik, R. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Doppler broadening of the 14 MeV DT and 2.45 MeV DD fusion neutron lines has long been our best measure of temperature in a burning plasma. At the National Ignition Facility (NIF), yields are high enough and our neutron spectrometers accurate enough that we see finer details of the peak shape. For example, we can measure the shift of the peak due to the bulk motion of the plasma, and we see indications of non-thermal broadening, skew, and kurtosis of the peak caused by the variations of temperature and fluid velocity during burn. We can also distinguish spectral differences amongmore »« less

Impact of three-dimensional hot-spot flow asymmetry on ion-temperature measurements in inertial confinement fusion experiments

Journal Article Woo, K. M. ; Betti, R. ; Shvarts, D. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Three-dimensional (3-D) implosion asymmetries lead to signficant variations in ion-temperature measurements in inertial confinement fusion experiments. We present an analytical method to generalize the physical properties of velocity variance in the Brysk ion-temperature model. This analysis provides a consistent explanation for the 3-D effects of inferred ion-temperature variations for various single modes and multimodes modeled by the deceleration-phase hydrocode DEC3D and the neutron transport code IRIS3D. The effect of the hot-spot ow asymmetry on variations in ion-temperature measurement is shown uniquely determined by a complete set of six hot-spot flow parameters.

An Evaluation of Bang-Time Measurements from a Multichannel, Triaxial, nTOF Diagnostic for MagLIF Experiments at the Z facility

Technical Report Ruiz, Carlos L. ; Fehl, D. L. ; Chandler, Gordon A. ; ...

Neutron bang times for a series of MagLIF (Magnetic Liner Inertial Fusion) experiments with D₂-filled targets have been measured at the Z facility. The emitted neutrons were detected as current-mode pulses in a multichannel, neutron time-of-flight (nTOF) diagnostic with conventional, scintillator-photomultiplier-tube (PMT) detectors. In these experiments, the detectors were fielded at known, fixed distances L (690-2510 cm) from the target, and on three, non-coplanar (but convergent) lines-of-sight (LOS). The primary goal of this diagnostic was to estimate a fiducial time (bang time) relative to an externally generated time-base for synchronizing all the diagnostics in an experiment. Recorded arrival times (A7) of the pulses were characterized experimentally by three numerical methods: a first-moment estimate (centroid) and two nodal measures — Savitzky-Golay (SG) smoothing and a single point peak estimate of the raw data. These times were corrected for internal detector time delays (transit and impulse-response function) — an adjustment that linked the recorded ATs to the corresponding arrival of uncollided neutrons at each detector. The bang time was then estimated by linearly regressing the arrival times against the associated distances to the source; t_bang (on the system timescale) was taken as the temporal intercept of the regression equation at distance L = 0. This article reports the analysis for a representative shot #2584 for which (a) the recorded ATs — even without detector corrections — agreed by method in each channel to within 1-2 ns; (b) internal corrections were each ~3 — 5 ns; and (c) a 95% uncertainty (confidence) interval for t_bang in this shot was estimated at ±3 ns with 4 degrees of freedom. A secondary goal for this diagnostic was to check that the bang time measurements corresponded to neutrons emitted by the D(d,n)³He reaction in a thermalized DD plasma. According to the theoretical studies by Brysk, such neutrons should be emitted with an isotropic Gaussian distribution of mean kinetic energymore »« less

Measuring higher-order moments of neutron-time-of-flight data for cryogenic inertial confinement fusion implosions on OMEGA

Journal Article Patel, D. ; Shah, R. C. ; Betti, R. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Ion temperatures serve as an important diagnostic for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions. In direct-drive ICF experiments on OMEGA, neutron-time-of-flight (nTOF) data are used to infer the ion temperature of the fusing plasma produced in the implosion experiment. The analysis of the nTOF data requires an assumption about the shape of the underlying source signal. Since the source nTOF signal is a near-replica of the neutron energy spectrum, an ideal Gaussian shape, corresponding to the neutron energy spectrum of a uniform temperature plasma, is routinely employed. However, spatial and temporal variations of the ion temperature in the plasma give risemore »« less

Analysis of the neutron time-of-flight spectra from inertial confinement fusion experiments

Journal Article Hatarik, R. ; Sayre, D. B. ; Caggiano, J. A. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Neutron time-of-flight diagnostics have long been used to characterize the neutron spectrum produced by inertial confinement fusion experiments. The primary diagnostic goals are to extract the d+t → n+α (DT) and d+d→ n+³He (DD) neutron yields and peak widths, and the amount DT scattering relative to its unscattered yield, also known as the down-scatter ratio (DSR). These quantities are used to infer yield weighted plasma conditions, such as ion temperature (T_ion) and cold fuel areal density. We report on novel methodologies used to determine neutron yield, apparent Tion, and DSR. These methods invoke a single temperature, static fluid model tomore »« less
