Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) has existed as a field of study since the 1970s, but the field
was born out of the Cold War. In the decades since the 1960s, pioneering research …

Pulsed power accelerators compress electrical energy in space and time to provide versatile
experimental platforms for high energy density and inertial confinement fusion science. The …

We present experimental results from the first systematic study of performance scaling with
drive parameters for a magnetoinertial fusion concept. In magnetized liner inertial fusion …

We present an overview of the magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) concept Magnetized Liner
Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) pursued at Sandia National Laboratories and review some of the …

The application of an external 26 Tesla axial magnetic field to a D 2 gas-filled capsule
indirectly driven on the National Ignition Facility is observed to increase the ion temperature …

A new project is underway at the National Ignition Facility with the goal of applying a seed
magnetic field to the fusion fuel in an indirect drive hohlraum implosion and quantifying the …

Neutrons generated in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) experiments provide valuable
information to interpret the conditions reached in the plasma. The neutron time-of-flight …

The magnetized liner inertial fusion concept [SA Slutz et al., Phys. Plasmas 17, 056303
(2010)] utilizes a magnetic field and laser heating to relax the pressure requirements of …

We present a new analysis methodology that allows for the self-consistent integration of
multiple diagnostics including nuclear measurements, x-ray imaging, and x-ray power …

In magneto-inertial-fusion experiments, energy losses such as a radiation need to be well
controlled in order to maximize the compressional work done on the fuel and achieve …
