Since the seminal paper of Nuckolls triggering the quest of inertial confinement fusion (ICF)
with lasers, hydrodynamic instabilities have been recognized as one of the principal hurdles …

High-yield implosions on the National Ignition Facility rely on maintaining low entropy in the
deuterium–tritium fuel, quantified by its adiabat, in order to efficiently couple energy to the …

Spherical implosions in inertial confinement fusion are inherently sensitive to perturbations
that may arise from experimental constraints and errors. Control and mitigation of low-mode …

Nonuniformities present in the laser illumination and target in laser-driven inertial
confinement fusion experiments lead to an asymmetric compression of the target, resulting …

This manuscript examines the correlations between the hot-spot velocity (an observable
signature of residual kinetic energy), low-mode implosion asymmetries, and burn …

In order to accurately model implosion hydrodynamics in a radiation-hydrodynamics code, it
is essential to include accurate accounting for energy deposition physics. In inertial …

Here, we present evidence, in the context of OMEGA cryogenic target implosions, that laser
imprint, known to be capable of degrading laser-direct-drive target performance, plays a …

The MARBLE project is a novel inertial confinement fusion platform for studying the
development of atomic mixing and temperature equilibration in inertial confinement fusion …

The growth rate of the nonlinear ablative Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability is enhanced by
magnetic fields self-generated by the Biermann battery mechanism; a scaling for this effect …

Knock-on deuteron imaging is a new diagnostic technique that is being implemented at the
OMEGA laser facility to diagnose the morphology of an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) …
