TL;DR: In this article, the propagation of fast electrons through laser irradiated Ti foils by monitoring the emission of hard X-rays and K-α radiation from bare foils and foils backed by a thick epoxy layer was studied.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors present a new analysis methodology that allows for the selfconsistent integration of multiple diagnostics including nuclear measurements, x-ray imaging, and xray power detectors to determine the primary stagnation parameters.

TL;DR: This analysis represents the first test of stopping models under inertial confinement fusion conditions, covering plasma temperatures of k_{B}T≈1-4 keV and particle densities of n≈(12-2)×10^{24} cm^{-3}, and finds significant deviations of data from a theory employing classical collisions whereas the theory including quantum diffraction agrees with the data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) using a semi-analytic model and demonstrate the dependence of radiative loss rates on the radial fraction of the fuel that is preheated.

TL;DR: Schmit et al. as mentioned in this paper used micro B-dot probes to measure the fringe fields associated with flux compression, and fiber-based Faraday rotation was used to infer the degree of magnetization at stagnation in fully integrated magnetized liners Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) experiments on Z.
