Effects of fuel-capsule shimming and drive asymmetry on inertial-confinement-fusion symmetry and yield

Effects of fuel-capsule shimming and drive asymmetry on inertial-confinement-fusion symmetry and yield

Three orthogonal proton emission imaging cameras were used to study the 3D effects of low-mode drive asymmetries and target asymmetries on nuclear burn symmetry and yield in direct-drive, inertial-confinement-fusion experiments. The fusion yield decreased quickly as the burn region became asymmetric...
