The first target experiments on the National Ignition Facility
The European Physical Journal D(2007)
摘要
A first set of shock timing, laser-plasma interaction, hohlraum energetics
and hydrodynamic experiments have been performed using the first 4 beams of
the National Ignition Facility (NIF), in support of indirect drive Inertial
Confinement Fusion (ICF) and High Energy Density Physics (HEDP). In
parallel, a robust set of optical and X-ray spectrometers, interferometer,
calorimeters and imagers have been activated. The experiments have been
undertaken with laser powers and energies of up to 8 TW and 17 kJ in flattop
and shaped 1–9 ns pulses focused with various beam smoothing options. The
experiments have demonstrated excellent agreement between measured and
predicted laser-target coupling in foils and hohlraums, even when extended
to a longer pulse regime unattainable at previous laser facilities,
validated the predicted effects of beam smoothing on intense laser beam
propagation in long scale-length plasmas and begun to test 3D codes by
extending the study of laser driven hydrodynamic jets to 3D geometries.
