Indications of flow near maximum compression in layered deuterium-tritium implosions at the National Ignition Facility

An accurate understanding of burn dynamics in implosions of cryogenically layered deuterium (D) and tritium (T) filled capsules, obtained partly through precision diagnosis of these experiments, is essential for assessing the impediments to achieving ignition at the National Ignition Facility. We pr...
