Measurements of an Ablator-Gas Atomic Mix in Indirectly Driven Implosions at the National Ignition Facility

We present the first results from an experimental campaign to measure the atomic ablator-gas mix in the deceleration phase of gas-filled capsule implosions on the National Ignition Facility. Plastic capsules containing CD layers were filled with tritium gas; as the reactants are initially separated,...
