Fusion Yield Enhancement in Magnetized Laser-Driven Implosions

Enhancement of the ion temperature and fusion yield has been observed in magnetized laser-driven inertial confinement fusion implosions on the OMEGA Laser Facility. A spherical CH target with a 10 atm D[subscript 2] gas fill was imploded in a polar-drive configuration. A magnetic field of 80 kG was...
