Published in 2018 at "Physics of Plasmas"

DOI: 10.1063/1.5010922

Abstract: Recent work in indirectly-driven inertial confinement fusion implosions on the National Ignition Facility has indicated that late-time propagation of the inner cones of laser beams (23° and 30°) is impeded by the growth of a… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Physics of Plasmas"

DOI: 10.1063/1.5016349

Abstract: Liquid layer implosions using the “wetted foam” technique, where the liquid fuel is wicked into a supporting foam, have been recently conducted on the National Ignition Facility for the first time [Olson et al., Phys.… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Physics of Plasmas"

DOI: 10.1063/1.5041285

Abstract: Beryllium is a candidate ablator material for indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion experiments, motivated by its high mass ablation rate, which is advantageous for implosion coupling efficiency and stabilization of the ablation-front instability growth. We present… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Physics of Plasmas"

DOI: 10.1063/5.0019193

Abstract: The shaping of the drive pulse in time is a key tool in the design of fusion experiments that use inertia to confine burning plasmas. It is directly related to the adiabat and compressibility of… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Physical review. E"

DOI: 10.1103/physreve.106.055204

Abstract: Target preheat by superthermal electrons from laser-plasma instabilities is a major obstacle to achieving thermonuclear ignition via direct-drive inertial confinement fusion at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). Polar-direct-drive surrogate plastic implosion experiments were performed on… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Applied optics"

DOI: 10.1364/ao.408569

Abstract: The study of Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer-Meshkov (RM) instabilities in a planar geometry at high energy densities at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) requires high spatial resolution imaging. We demonstrate the potential of Fresnel zone… read more here.
