Impact of stalk on directly-driven inertial confinement fusion implosions
(AIP, 2019-12)Low-mode asymmetries have emerged as one of the primary challenges to achieving high-performing inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions. In direct-drive ICF, an important potential seed of such asymmetries is the ... -
2H(p, gamma) 3He cross section measurement using high-energy-density plasmas
(APS, 2020-04)An absolute cross section for the radiative capture reaction 2H(p, γ ) 3He has been measured at the OMEGA laser facility using inertially confined plasmas. These high-temperature plasmas are created by imploding a fuel ... -
Effect of Strongly Magnetized Electrons and Ions on Heat Flow and Symmetry of Inertial Fusion Implosions
(APS, 2022-05)This Letter presents the first observation on how a strong, 500 kG, externally applied B field increases the mode-two asymmetry in shock-heated inertial fusion implosions. Using a direct-drive implosion with polar illumination ...
