摘要: High Density Carbon (HDC) is a leading candidate as an ablator material for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) capsules in x-ray (indirect) drive implosions. HDC has higher density (3.5 g/cc) than plastic (CH, 1 g/cc), which results thinner with larger inner radius given capsule scale. This leads to absorption and shorter laser pulses compared equivalent CH designs. paper will describe series of experiments carried out examine the feasibility using both gas filled hohlraums lower density, near vacuum hohlraums. These have shown that deuterium (DD) deuterium-tritium driven by hohlraum 1.2 mg/cc He gas, produce neutron yields factor 2× implosions, representing better 50% Yield-over-Clean (YoC). In (He = 0.03 mg/cc) 98% laser-to-hohlraum coupling, such DD gas-filled performed 1D expectations. A cryogenic layered implosion version was consistent fuel velocity = 410 ± 20 km/s no observed mixing into hot spot.
