Measurements of improved stability to achieve higher fuel compression in ICF
(AIP, 2023-05)While nuclear fusion ignition has been achieved at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments, obtaining higher gain and more efficient burn is still desired. In that regard, ... -
Experimental Study of the Edge Radial Electric Field in Different Drift Configurations and its Role in the Access to H-mode at ASDEX Upgrade
(AIP, 2023-03)The formation of the equilibrium radial electric field (Er) has been studied experimentally at ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) in L-modes of ’favourable’ (ion ∇B-drift towards primary X-point) and ’unfavourable’ (ion ∇B-drift away ... -
Inferences of hot electron preheat and its spatial distribution in OMEGA direct drive implosions
(AIP, 2022-01)Hot electrons generated from laser plasma instabilities degrade performance of direct drive implosions by preheating the deuterium and tritium (DT) fuel resulting in early decompression and lower areal densities at stagnation. ...
