Observation of a Reflected Shock in an Indirectly Driven Spherical Implosion at the National Ignition Facility

Observation of a Reflected Shock in an Indirectly Driven Spherical Implosion at the National Ignition Facility

A 200  μm radius hot spot at more than 2 keV temperature, 1  g/cm[superscript 3] density has been achieved on the National Ignition Facility using a near vacuum hohlraum. The implosion exhibits ideal one-dimensional behavior and 99% laser-to-hohlraum coupling. The low opacity of the remaining shell...
