Ultrafast radiographic imaging and tracking (U-RadIT) use state-of-the-art ionizing particle
and light sources to experimentally study sub-nanosecond transients or dynamic processes …

Point design targets have been specified for the initial ignition campaign on the National
Ignition Facility [GH Miller, EI Moses, and CR Wuest, Opt. Eng. 443, 2841 (2004)]. The …

This paper describes a new positron source using ultraintense short pulse lasers. Although it
has been theoretically studied since the 1970s, the use of lasers as a valuable new positron …

Ignition requires precisely controlled, high convergence implosions to assemble a dense
shell of deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel with ρR>∼ 1 g/cm 2 surrounding a 10 keV hot spot with …

An important diagnostic tool for inertial confinement fusion will be time-resolved
radiographic imaging of the dense cold fuel surrounding the hot spot. The measurement …

High-resolution, high-energy X-ray backlighters are very active area of research for
radiography experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF)[Miller et al., Nucl. Fusion 44 …

The Advanced Radiographic Capability (ARC) laser system at the National Ignition Facility
(NIF) is designed to ultimately provide eight beamlets with a pulse duration adjustable from …

An x-ray source generated by an electron beam produced using a Self-Modulated Laser
Wakefield Accelerator (SM-LWFA) is explored for use in high energy density science …

We present measurements of the hard x-ray emission from targets irradiated at relativistic
laser intensities, with the objective of comprehensively characterizing source properties …

, provides a new diagnostic capability to study inertial-confinement-fusion (ICF) and high-
energy-density (HED) plasmas. Specifically, petawatt OMEGA EP pulses have been used to …
