Hohlraum drive and implosion experiments on Nova. Revision 1

J. D. Kilkenny-1994-09-08-University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas)

TL;DRAbstract

Experiments on Nova have demonstrated hohlraum radiation temperatures up to 300 eV and in lower temperature experiments reproducible time integrated symmetry to 1--2%. Detailed 2-D LASNEX simulations satisfactorily reproduce Nova`s drive and symmetry scaling data bases. Hohlraums has been used for implosion experiments achieving convergence ratios (initial capsule radius/final fuel radius) up to 24 with high density glass surrounding a hot gas fill.
