Impact of asymmetries on fuel performance in inertial confinement fusion

Impact of asymmetries on fuel performance in inertial confinement fusion

Low-mode asymmetries prevent effective compression, confinement, and heating of the fuel in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions, and their control is essential to achieving ignition. Ion temperatures (T[subscript ion]) in ICF experiments are inferred from the broadening of primary neutron s...
