DOI: 10.1007/s10946-017-9631-y

Abstract: We present the results of theoretical and numerical research on the burning of spherical thermonuclear targets under conditions where the peripheral part of the deuterium–tritium plasma is mixed with the surrounding inert substance of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0171617

Abstract: The interface between the capsule ablator and fuel ice layer is susceptible to hydrodynamic instabilities. The subsequent mixing of hot ablator material into the ice reduces fuel compression at stagnation and is a candidate for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0290812

Abstract: In indirect drive inertial confinement fusion, M-band radiation alters the implosion dynamics by preheating the capsule. It is well known that M-band preheat exacerbates hydrodynamic instabilities at the fuel–ablator interface, causing degradation from the ideal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.126.185001

Abstract: High density carbon (HDC) ablator is one of the promising candidates toward thermonuclear ignition in inertial confinement fusion (ICF), but it shows the largest ablation front instability growth as compared to other traditional ablator materials.… read more here.
