Ion Thermal Decoupling and Species Separation in Shock-Driven Implosions

Ion Thermal Decoupling and Species Separation in Shock-Driven Implosions

Anomalous reduction of the fusion yields by 50% and anomalous scaling of the burn-averaged ion temperatures with the ion-species fraction has been observed for the first time in D[superscript 3]He-filled shock-driven inertial confinement fusion implosions. Two ion kinetic mechanisms are used to expl...
