    Notes: The first measurements and numerical simulations of fusion neutrons from the gas–pusher interface of indirectly-driven inertial confinement fusion implosions have been performed using hydrogen-filled capsules made with a deuterated inner layer. Nonlinear saturation of the growth of hydrodynamic perturbations in high linear growth factor ((similar, equals)325) implosions was varied by adjusting the initial surface roughness of the capsule. The neutron yields are in quantitative agreement with the direct simulations of perturbation growth, and also with a linear mode superposition and saturation model including enhanced thermal loss in the mixed region. Neutron spectra from these capsules are broader than expected for the calculated ion temperatures, suggesting the presence of nonthermal broadening from mass motion during the fusion burn. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Neutron source strength and yield from field-reversed configurations have been measured in the FRX-C/LSM magnetic compression experiment using plastic scintillators, indium activation samples, and moderated rhodium activation counters. The calibration of these neutron detectors is complicated by the changing shape and position of the plasma and by the presence of the massive aluminum compression coils. The overall uncertainty in the neutron measurements is estimated to be 45%.

    Notes: A highly uniform thermal x-radiation field for indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion implosions may be obtained by irradiating a four-hole, tetrahedral geometry, spherical hohlraum with all 60 Omega laser beams. Implosion studies and calculations [J. M. Wallace et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 3807 (1999)] indicate a drive uniformity comparable to that expected for the National Ignition Facility [J. A. Painser et al., Laser Focus World 30, 75 (1994)]. With 60 beams distributed over the cavity wall, tetrahedral hohlraums have a natural insensitivity to power balance and pointing errors. Standard, smooth Nova capsules imploded with this drive indicate that moderate convergence-ratio implosions, Cr∼18, have measured-neutron yield to calculated-clean-one-dimensional-neutronyield ratios similar to those previously investigated using the comparatively poor drive uniformity of Nova cylindrical hohlraums. This may indicate that a nonsymmetry-related neutron yield degradation mechanism, e.g., hydrodynamic mixing of cold, dense ablator material with the hot-spot region or some combination of nonsymmetry effects, is dominating in this Cr regime. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Creation of a low density, high temperature plasma buffer between the absorption and ablation layers of a directly driven inertial confinement fusion implosion capsule has been proposed as a means to reduce "early time" imprint from laser nonuniformities. This thermal smoothing blanket might be created from a low density foam layer wrapped around the deuterium–tritium filled microballoon. Preliminary spherical implosion tests of this concept using a polystyrene foam layer surrounding a glass microballoon were performed at the Nova laser [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 57, 2101 (1986)], using a 527 nm drive wavelength. Comparison of capsule yield and imploded core symmetry showed promising improvements in overall target performance, relative to one-dimensional undegraded hydrodynamic simulations, when the foam-buffer layer was present. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The National Ignition Facility (NIF), currently under construction at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, will provide unprecedented opportunities for the use of nuclear diagnostics in inertial confinement fusion experiments. The completed facility will provide 2 MJ of laser energy for driving targets, compared to the approximately 40 kJ that was available on Nova and the approximately 30 kJ available on Omega. Ignited NIF targets are anticipated to produce up to 1019 DT neutrons. In addition to a basic set of nuclear diagnostics based on previous experience, these higher NIF yields are expected to allow innovative nuclear diagnostic techniques to be utilized, such as neutron imaging, recoil proton techniques, and gamma-ray-based reaction history measurements. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We are developing a sensitive neutron spectrometer for the National Ignition Facility laser at Livermore. The spectrometer will consist of a 1020 channel single-neutron-interaction time-of-flight detector array fielded 23 m from the neutron-producing target. It will use an existing detector array together with upgraded electronics for improved time resolution. Measurements of neutron yield, ion and electron temperatures, and density-radius product are all possible under certain conditions using one-, two-, or three-step reaction processes. The locations of the most important potential sources of scattered neutron backgrounds are determined as the first step in designing collimation to reduce these backgrounds. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Neutron time-of-flight (nToF) signals from current-mode neutron detectors are often used to determine burn-averaged ion temperature from ICF targets because the spread of the neutron energy distribution is a function of the temperature of the reacting ions. The measured signal will, however, be a convolution of the actual neutron signal, the detector response, and the response of the recording system. In addition, scattered neutrons will arrive at the detector later than unscattered neutrons, further broadening the signal. The ion temperature derived from nToF data depends strongly on the functions used to fit the data or the methods utilized to unfold the neutron energy spectrum. A functional form based on known and measured properties of the detectors is used to fit the integral of the time-of-flight signal, allowing ion temperature derivations from targets with lower neutron yield than previously possible.
