Symmetry tuning with megajoule laser pulses at the National Ignition Facility

Symmetry tuning with megajoule laser pulses at the National Ignition Facility

Experiments conducted at the National Ignition Facility using shaped laser pulses with more than 1 MJ of energy have demonstrated the ability to control the implosion symmetry under ignition conditions. To achieve thermonuclear ignition, the low mode asymmetries must be small to minimize the size of...
