Journal ArticleDOI
The physics basis for ignition using indirect-drive targets on the National Ignition Facility
John Lindl,Peter Amendt,Richard Berger,S. Gail Glendinning,Siegfried Glenzer,S. W. Haan,Robert L. Kauffman,Otto Landen,L. J. Suter +8 more
TL;DR: The 1990 National Academy of Science final report of its review of the Inertial Confinement Fusion Program recommended completion of a series of target physics objectives on the 10-beam Nova laser at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as the highest priority prerequisite for proceeding with construction of an ignition-scale laser facility as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wilde +23 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the targets, the modeling that was used to design them, and the modeling done to set specifications for the laser system in the proposed National Ignition Facility.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the dominant and subdominant behavior of stimulated Raman and Brillouin scattering driven by nonuniform laser beams
TL;DR: In this paper, multidimensional fluid simulations of the growth and saturation of stimulated Brillouin (SBS) and Raman backscattering (SRS) instabilities driven by a nonuniform incident laser beam are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

B. J. MacGowan,Bedros Afeyan,Christina Back,Richard Berger,Guy Bonnaud,M. Casanova,Bruce I. Cohen,D. E. Desenne,D. F. DuBois,A. G. Dulieu,Kent Estabrook,Juan C. Fernández,Siegfried Glenzer,D. E.

Rose,Christophe Rousseaux,Robert Turner,Bernhard H. Wilde,Scott Wilks,E. A. Williams +30 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the scattering of laser light by SBS and SRS as a function of beam smoothing and plasma conditions in the National Ignition Facility (NIF).
Journal ArticleDOI
The frequency and damping of ion acoustic waves in hydrocarbon (CH) and two‐ion‐species plasmas
E. A. Williams,Richard Berger,R. P. Drake,Alexander M. Rubenchik,B. S. Bauer,D. D. Meyerhofer,A. C. Gaeris,T. W. Johnston +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mode frequencies and Landau damping of two dominant ion-acoustic modes in CH plasmas are calculated by numerical solution of the kinetic dispersion relation.
