Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing robustness of indirect drive capsule designs against short wavelength hydrodynamic instabilitiesa)
S. W. Haan,Mark Herrmann,T. R. Dittrich,Abraham J. Fetterman,M. M. Marinak,D. H. Munro,S. M. Pollaine,Jay D. Salmonson,George L. Strobel,L. J. Suter +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, Boyes, Kumpan, Boyes and Sorem developed a mapping of the ignition target performance over the parameter space of ablator and fuel thickness combinations, using techniques developed by Herrmann.

S. W. Haan,Mark Herrmann,T. R. Dittrich,Abraham J. Fetterman,M. M. Marinak,D Munro,S. M. Pollaine,Jay D. Salmonson,G L Strobel,L. J. Suter +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the systematics of these advances in capsule design, discuss the basis behind their improved performance, and summarize how this is affecting their plans for NIF ignition.
Journal ArticleDOI
The magnetic centrifugal mass filter
TL;DR: In this article, a new mass filter that utilizes centrifugal and magnetic confinement of ions in a way similar to the asymmetric centrifugal trap was proposed for separating nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel.
Journal ArticleDOI
α Channeling in a Rotating Plasma
TL;DR: Radio frequency waves can resonate with alpha particles in a mirror machine with ExB rotation to diffuse the alpha particles along constrained paths in phase space and can directly enhance the rotation energy which in turn provides additional plasma confinement in centrifugal fusion reactors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced ablation of small anodes in a carbon nanotube arc plasma
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the ablation rate of a graphite anode as a function of anode diameter for a carbon nanotube arc plasma and found that anomalously high ablation occurs for small anode diameters.
