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 کاملDirect-Drive Target Designs for the National Ignition Facility
LLE Review, Volume 79 121 The National Ignition Facility (NIF) is currently under construction at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). One of the primary missions of the NIF is to achieve fusion ignition by means of inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Two main approaches have been considered for achieving thermonuclear yield in ICF. The first approach, known as indirectdrive ICF,1 encl...
متن کاملPolar Direct Drive—Proof-of-Principle Experiments on OMEGA and Prospects for Ignition on the National Ignition Facility
Since the recent suggestion3 that the PDD option be reconsidered on account of the cost and complexity of rerouting half of the NIF beams, a number of two-dimensional (2-D) hydrodynamic PDD simulations have been reported. Simulations4,5 of the all-DT capsule design of Refs. 6 and 7 were carried out using the hydrodynamics code SAGE, which includes fully self-consistent 3-D ray tracing.8 These s...

متن کاملThe saturn target for polar direct drive on the national ignition facility.
A new target design concept is proposed for direct-drive implosions while the National Ignition Facility is in its initial, indirect-drive configuration. It differs from earlier "polar-direct-drive" designs by adding a low-Z ring around the capsule equator. Refraction in the plasma formed around this ring permits time-dependent tuning of the capsule drive uniformity. An optimized simulation sho...
