INERTIAL CONFINEMENT FUSION AT THE LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY

摘要

At Los Alamos, research in high-energy-density physics continues, and much of the work is relevant to the National Inertial-Confinement-Fusion (ICF) Program. Recent work in several areas is reviewed. These areas include (1) neutron imaging and high-convergence double-shell capsules; (2) hydro-code validation using experiments on jets, gaps, and Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities; and (3) studies of laser-plasma interactions using the single hot spot on the Trident laser facility.
