Fuel-ion diffusion in shock-driven inertial confinement fusion implosions
The impact of fuel-ion diffusion in inertial confinement fusion implosions is assessed using nuclear reaction yield ratios and reaction histories. In T3He-gas-filled (with trace D) shock-driven implosions, the observed TT/T3He yield ratio is ∼2× lower than expected from temperature scaling. In D3He-...
