Monochromatic 6.151-keV Radiographs of a Highly Unstable Inertial Confinement Fusion Capsule Implosion

Monochromatic 6.151-keV radiographs of a highly unstable inertial confinement fusion capsule are shown. The capsule was driven by a 70-eV peak radiation temperature and exhibits numerous small-scale features down to the resolution of the backlighting diagnostic (about 15 μm ). The capsule experiment...

Description
Summary:Monochromatic 6.151-keV radiographs of a highly unstable inertial confinement fusion capsule are shown. The capsule was driven by a 70-eV peak radiation temperature and exhibits numerous small-scale features down to the resolution of the backlighting diagnostic (about 15 μm ). The capsule experiment was done using the double-ended Z -pinch-driven hohlraum on the Sandia Z facility.
