ICF-related experiments at CEL-V

Results from neutron imaging of ICF experiments at NIF

In 2011 a neutron imaging diagnostic was commissioned at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). This new system has been used to collect neutron images to measure the size and shape of the burning DT plasma and the surrounding fuel assembly. The imaging technique uses a pinhole neutron aperture placed between the neutron source and a neutron detector. The detection system measures the two-dimens...

Proton Temporal Diagnostic for ICF Experiments on OMEGA

230 LLE Review, Volume 96 Introduction In an inertial confinement fusion (ICF)1 experiment, a capsule filled with deuterium (D2) or a deuterium–tritium (DT) fuel is heated by either direct laser illumination or soft-x-ray radiation in a laser-heated hohlraum. The target is compressed to conditions under which thermonuclear fusion occurs. The fusion burn begins with spark ignition of the central...

Experiments on Related Entity Finding Track at TREC 2009

Our goal in participating in the TREC 2009 Entity Track is to study whether QA list technique can help improve accuracy of the entity finding task. Also, we take a looking for homepage finding to identify homepages of an entity by training a maximum entropy classifier and a logistic regression models for three types of entity respectively.

Mole HER and Cel

Downlo ivated oncogenes are the dominant drivers of malignant progression in human cancer, yet little is known how the transformation from proto-oncogene to activated oncogene drives the expression of transd phenotypes. An isogenic model of HER-2–mediated transformation of human mammary epithelial as used along with HER-2–amplified human breast cancers to investigate how HER-2 activation alters...
