Abstract :
Summary form only given. BUCKY1 is a flexible 1-D Lagrangian radiation-hydrodynamics code that can simulate a variety of high-density ICF plasma conditions in planar, cylindrical, or spherical geometries. At GA we are using BUCKY1 to simulate the response of the conically-shaped target inserter (TI) located inside the target chamber of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) to the time- and energy-dependent X-ray spectrum from a 20 MJ hohlraum target.
