Performance of High-Convergence, Layered DT Implosions with Extended-Duration Pulses at the National Ignition Facility

Radiation-driven, low-adiabat, cryogenic DT layered plastic capsule implosions were carried out on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) to study the sensitivity of performance to peak power and drive duration. An implosion with extended drive and at reduced peak power of 350 TW achieved the highest...
