Polar Direct Drive on the National Ignition Facility
212 LLE Review, Volume 96 Introduction Recent advances in direct-drive target design have enhanced target performance beyond that achieved in the original baseline ignition design.1 This substantially increases the probability of achieving moderate to high direct-drive target gain on the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The baseline direct-drive design for the NIF is itself very attractive. It...
متن کاملProton pinhole imaging on the National Ignition Facility.
Pinhole imaging of large (mm scale) carbon-deuterium (CD) plasmas by proton self-emission has been used for the first time to study the microphysics of shock formation, which is of astrophysical relevance. The 3 MeV deuterium-deuterium (DD) fusion proton self-emission from these plasmas is imaged using a novel pinhole imaging system, with up to five different 1 mm diameter pinholes positioned 2...
متن کاملThe National Ignition Facility : Studying the Stars in the Laboratory
The National Ignition Facility, construction for which will be completed in March, 2009, will be the highest energy laser ever built. The high temperatures and densities it will produce will enable a number of experiments in inertial confinement fusion and stockpile stewardship, as well as in nuclear astrophysics, X-ray astronomy, laser-plasma interactions, hydrodynamics, and planetary science.
متن کاملObservation of a reflected shock in an indirectly driven spherical implosion at the national ignition facility.
A 200 μm radius hot spot at more than 2 keV temperature, 1 g/cm^{3} density has been achieved on the National Ignition Facility using a near vacuum hohlraum. The implosion exhibits ideal one-dimensional behavior and 99% laser-to-hohlraum coupling. The low opacity of the remaining shell at bang time allows for a measurement of the x-ray emission of the reflected central shock in a deuterium pl...
متن کاملRecent Progress in Ignition Fusion Research on the National Ignition Facility∗)
This paper will review the ignition fusion research program that is currently being carried out on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. This work is being conducted under the auspices of the National Ignition Campaign (NIC) that is a broad collaboration of national laboratories and universities that together have developed a detailed research p...
