Journal ArticleDOI
HULLAC, an integrated computer package for atomic processes in plasmas
TL;DR: H ULLAC as mentioned in this paper, an integrated code for calculating atomic structure and cross sections for collisional and radiative atomic processes, is based on relativistic quantum mechanical calculations including configuration interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

S. P. Obenschain,Stephen E. Bodner,Denis Colombant,K.A. Gerber,Robert Lehmberg,E. A. McLean,A. N. Mostovych,M. S. Pronko,C. J. Pawley,Andrew J. Schmitt,John D. Sethian,Victor Serlin,J. A. Stamper,C. A. Sullivan,Jill P. Dahlburg,John H. Gardner,Y. Chan,A. V. Deniz,J. Hardgrove,T. Lehecka,M. Klapisch +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the performance of the Nike laser in producing uniform illumination and its performance in correspondingly uniform acceleration of targets, and show that the Nike has spatially uniform ablation pressures (Δp/p < 2%).
Journal ArticleDOI
High-gain direct-drive target design for laser fusion
TL;DR: In this article, a new laser fusion target concept was presented with a predicted energy gain of 127 using a 1.3 MJ KrF laser, which is sufficiently high for an economically attractive fusion reactor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Thin High-z Layers on the Hydrodynamics of Laser-Accelerated Plastic Targets
S. P. Obenschain,Denis Colombant,Max Karasik,C. J. Pawley,Victor Serlin,Andrew J. Schmitt,J.L. Weaver,John H. Gardner,Lee Phillips,Yefim Aglitskiy,Y. Chan,Jill P. Dahlburg,M. Klapisch +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of thin metallic layers with high atomic number (high-Z) on the hydrodynamics of laser accelerated plastic targets are studied and a laser pulse with a low-intensity foot that rises into a high-intensity main pulse is employed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collisional radiative model for heavy atoms in hot non-local-thermodynamical-equilibrium plasmas
TL;DR: In this article, a collisional radiative model for calculating non-local-thermodynamical-equilibrium (non-LTE) spectra of heavy atoms in hot plasmas has been developed, taking into account the numerous excited and autoionizing states.
