the neutron imaging systems that have been used in our measurements at the National …

Time-gated, monoenergetic radiography with 15-MeV protons provides unique
measurements of implosion dynamics in direct-drive inertial-confinement fusion. Images …

When high intensity (≥ 10 19 W cm− 2) laser light interacts with matter, multi-MeV electrons
are produced. These electrons can be utilized to generate a MeV bremsstrahlung x-ray …

The National Ignition Facility (NIF) will provide up to 1.8 MJ of laser energy for imploding
inertial confinement fusion (ICF) targets. Ignited NIF targets are expected to produce up to 10 …

Results of an experimental study of multi-MeV bremsstrahlung x-ray sources created by
picosecond laser pulses are presented. The x-ray source is created by focusing the short …

This article reviews the latest developments of high time-and space-resolving diagnostic
technique for laser-driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF) in China. Focusing on the needs …

The National Ignition Facility (NIF) is scheduled to begin deuterium-tritium (DT) shots
possibly in the next several years. One of the important diagnostics in understanding …

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 …
