Using fusion-product spectroscopy to diagnose inertial confinement fusion implosions and study stopping power on OMEGA, the NIF, and Z

This thesis summarizes three distinct but related projects that use the spectroscopy of fusion products to diagnose areal densities in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) implosions or study stopping power to better understand the areal density requirements of said implosions. The first project at...
