High-Performance Indirect-Drive Cryogenic Implosions at High Adiabat on the National Ignition Facility

To reach the pressures and densities required for ignition, it may be necessary to develop an approach to design that makes it easier for simulations to guide experiments. Here, we report on a new short-pulse inertial confinement fusion platform that is specifically designed to be more predictable....
