Title :
Hohlraum designs for high velocity implosions on NIF
Author_Institution :
Lawrence Livermore Nat. Lab., Livermore, CA, USA
Abstract :
Experiments measuring the velocity of hohlraum-driven implosions on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) are described, including a demonstration of the required fusion-fuel velocity Vfuel > 350 km/s with a 520 TW, 1.86 MJ laser pulse.
