Optimization of a high-yield, low-areal-density fusion product source at the National Ignition Facility with applications in nucleosynthesis experiments

Dataset Johnson, M. Gatu ; Casey, D. T. ; Hohenberger, M. ; ...

Polar-direct-drive exploding pushers are used as a high-yield, low-areal-density fusion product source at the National Ignition Facility with applications including diagnostic calibration, nuclear security, backlighting, electron-ion equilibration and nucleosynthesis-relevant experiments. In this paper, two different paths to improving the performance of this platform are explored: (i) optimizing the laser drive, and (ii) optimizing the target. While the present study is specifically geared towards nucleosynthesis experiments, the results are generally applicable. Example data from T[sub 2]/[sup 3]He-gas-filled implosions with trace deuterium are used to show that yield and ion temperature (T[sub ion]) from 1.6mm-outer-diameter thin-glass-shell capsule implosions are improved at amore »« 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

Improved Performance of High Areal Density Indirect Drive Implosions at the National Ignition Facility using a Four-Shock Adiabat Shaped Drive

Journal Article Casey, D. T. ; Milovich, J. L. ; Smalyuk, V. A. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Hydrodynamic instabilities can cause capsule defects and other perturbations to grow and degrade implosion performance in ignition experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). Here, we show the first experimental demonstration that a strong unsupported first shock in indirect drive implosions at the NIF reduces ablation front instability growth leading to a 3 to 10 times higher yield with fuel ρR>1 g/cm². As a result, this work shows the importance of ablation front instability growth during the National Ignition Campaign and may provide a path to improved performance at the high compression necessary for ignition.

High-density carbon ablator experiments on the National Ignition Facility

Journal Article MacKinnon, A. J. ; Meezan, N. B. ; Ross, J. S. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

High Density Carbon (HDC) is a leading candidate as an ablator material for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) capsules in x-ray (indirect) drive implosions. HDC has a higher density (3.5 g/cc) than plastic (CH, 1 g/cc), which results in a thinner ablator with a larger inner radius for a given capsule scale. This leads to higher x-ray absorption and shorter laser pulses compared to equivalent CH designs. This paper will describe a series of experiments carried out to examine the feasibility of using HDC as an ablator using both gas filled hohlraums and lower density, near vacuum hohlraums. These experiments have shown thatmore »« less
