Summary form only given. Radiochemical diagnostic methods are currently under development for the National Ignition Facility (NIF). Samples in the gas-phase offer a direct method of collection by pumping out the large target chamber following a NIF shot and transporting the gas down-stream for further analysis. Ignition capsules will have a small amount (roughly 1015 atoms) of dopant added to the ...Show More
Radiochemical diagnostic techniques such as solid- and gas-phase capsule debris analysis may prove to be successful methods for establishing the success or failure of ignition experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). Samples in the gas phase offer the most direct method of collection by simply pumping out the large target chamber following a NIF shot. The target capsules will be prepar...Show More

Summary form only given. The National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory will be performing credible ignition attempts as early as 2010. One of the fusion diagnostic methods under development is collection of post-shot solid debris. Materials doped into the NIF capsule ablator shell will activate as a result of interaction with DT fusion neutrons. Collection and anal...Show More
The National Ignition Facility (NIF) is slated to come online in 2010. While the first planned experiments will be focused on achieving ignition, a variety of subsequent experiments are planned for the facility, including measurement of cross sections and astrophysical measurements. In order to successfully execute several of these planned experiments, the ability to collect solid debris following...Show More
