Lee,B. J. MacGowan,A. J. Mackinnon,J. D. Moody,Michael J. Moran,A. A. Offenberger,Deanna Marie Pennington,Michael D. Perry,T. J. Phillips,T. C. Sangster,M. S. Singh,M. A. Stoyer,Max Tabak,G. L. Tietbohl,M. Tsukamoto,Ken Wharton,Scott Wilks +29 more
TL;DR: In this article, the characteristics of the hot electron source at laser intensities up to 10(to the 20th power) Wcm{sup -2} and the heating produced at depth by hot electrons have been measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absolute equation of state measurements on shocked liquid deuterium up to 200 gpa (2 mbar)
L. B. Da Silva,P. M. Celliers,Gilbert Collins,Kimberly S. Budil,Neil C. Holmes,Troy W. Barbee,Bruce Hammel,J. D. Kilkenny,R. J. Wallace,Marvin Ross,R. C. Cauble,Andrew Ng,G. Chiu +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first measurements of density, shock speed, and particle speed in liquid deuterium compressed by laser-generated shock waves to pressures from 25 to 210Gpa (0.25 to 2.1Mbar).
Journal ArticleDOI
High temperatures in inertial confinement fusion radiation cavities heated with 0.35 microm light.
Robert L. Kauffman,L. J. Suter,Christopher B. Darrow,J. D. Kilkenny,H. N. Kornblum,D. S. Montgomery,D. W. Phillion,M. D. Rosen,A. R. Theissen,R. J. Wallace,F. Ze +10 more
TL;DR: Low levels of scattered light and fast electrons are observed, indicating that plasma instability production is not significant, and efficient coupling of 0.35 $\ensuremath{\mu}$ laser light for radiation production in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) cavity targets is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Landoas,L. Disdier,Gordon A. Chandler,R. J. Leeper +31 more
TL;DR: The National Ignition Facility (NIF) successfully completed its first inertial confinement fusion (ICF) campaign in 2009 and a neutron time-of-flight (nTOF) system was part of the nuclear diagnostics used in this campaign.
Journal ArticleDOI
