摘要
The effects of shock dynamics on compressibility of indirect-drive ignition-scale surrogate implosions, CH shells filled with (DHe)-He-3 gas, have been studied using charged-particle spectroscopy. Spectral measurements of (DHe)-He-3 protons produced at the shock-bang time probe the shock dynamics and in-flight characteristics of an implosion. The proton shock yield is found to vary by over an order of magnitude. A simple model relates the observed yield to incipient hot-spot adiabat, suggesting that implosions with rapid radiation-power increase during the main drive pulse may have a 2x higher hot-spot adiabat, potentially reducing compressibility. A self-consistent 1-D implosion model was used to infer the areal density (rho R) and the shell center-of-mass radius (R-cm) from the downshift of the shock-produced (DHe)-He-3 protons. The observed rho R at shock-bang time is substantially higher for implosions, where the laser drive is on until near the compression bang time ("short-coast"), while longer-coasting implosions have lower rho R. This corresponds to a much larger temporal difference between the shock- and compression-bang time in the long-coast implosions (similar to 800 ps) than in the short-coast (similar to 400 ps); this will be verified with a future direct bang-time diagnostic. This model-inferred differential bang time contradicts radiation-hydrodynamic simulations, which predict constant 700-800 ps differential independent of coasting time; this result is potentially explained by uncertainties in modeling late-time ablation drive on the capsule. In an ignition experiment, an earlier shock-bang time resulting in an earlier onset of shell deceleration, potentially reducing compression and, thus, fuel rho R. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
