TL;DR: The first spherical hohlraum energetics experiment is accomplished on the SGIII-prototype laser facility and it is indicated that the radiation temperatures measured by the FXRDs depend on the observation angles and are related to the view field.

TL;DR: The role of hohlraum geometry in LPI is demonstrated and the need for systematic experiments for choosing the optimal configuration for ignition studies with indirect drive inertial confinement fusion is demonstrated.

TL;DR: The results from this method are complementary to those from the broadband x-ray spectrometer, and the technique can be further used to determine T(R) and f(M) inside an ignition hohlraum.

TL;DR: The experimental results show that the octahedral spherical hohlraum radiation temperature is in the range of 170-182 eV with drive laser energies of 71 kJ to 84 kJ, and the radiation temperature inside the hohlRAum determined by the shock wave technique is about 175 e V at 71 KJ.

TL;DR: An octahedral spherical hohlraum is a promising candidate in target design for inertial confinement fusion study, because of its potential superiority in uniform radiation and efficient coupling as discussed by the authors, and it is used in the Shenguang-III prototype laser facility by using spherical Hohlraums with two cylindrical laser entrance holes.
