Implosion Experiments using Glass Ablators for Direct-Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion

Implosion Experiments using Glass Ablators for Direct-Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion

Direct-drive implosions with 20-μm-thick glass shells were conducted on the Omega Laser Facility to test the performance of high-Z glass ablators for direct-drive, inertial confinement fusion. The x-ray signal caused by hot electrons generated by two-plasmon-decay instability was reduced by more tha...
