The OMEGA laser system is being used to investigate several approaches to inertial confinement fusion: the traditional central-hot-spot (CHS) ignition, fast ignition (FI), and shock ignition (SI). To achieve ignition, CHS requires the highly uniform compression of a solid deuterium-tritium (DT)-layered target on a low adiabat (defined as the ratio of the pressure to the Fermi-degenerate pressure) ...Show More
A new type of neutron spectrometer, called a Magnetic Recoil Spectrometer (MRS) has been built and activated at OMEGA, and currently being developed at the National Ignition Facility (NIF), for measurements of the absolute neutron spectrum in the range 6 to 30 MeV, from which ¿R, Ti and yield can be determined. From the down-scattered neutrons in the range 6- 0 MeV, a ¿R can be inferred. From the ...Show More
