Title: Shock Timing Techniques for Ignition Capsules on the NIF

Conference ·
OSTI ID:15004923

Results from a series of shock trajectory measurements in planar liquid deuterium targets will set the pulse shape they use for ignition capsules at the National Ignition Facility. They discuss outstanding issues for this concept, in particular, ideas for certifying that the drive on a planar sample is the same as on a spherical capsule.
