Hohlraums are hollow cylindrical cavities with high-Z material walls used to convert laser
energy into uniform x-ray radiation drives for inertial confinement fusion capsule implosions …

We propose a new approach to inertial confinement fusion (ICF) that could potentially lead
to ignition and propagating thermonuclear burn at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The …

High energy density physics (HEDP) and inertial confinement fusion (ICF) research typically
relies on computational modeling using radiation-hydrodynamics codes in order to design …

The electron heat transport plays an important role in laser driven inertial confinement
fusion. For the plasmas created by intense laser, the traditional Spitzer–Härm theory cannot …

A 100 ps laser is used to probe the pressure generation, depth of the non-solid ablator, and
the non-linear optical effects through tamper materials. Samples consisted of an aluminum …

This study shows that Newtonian hydrodynamics coupled with radiation transport, using a
wide range of methods for treating the material-motion corrections, results in anomalous …

In order to accurately assess the financial status of a company and identify potential
anomalies, this paper first implements unsupervised classification of financial transaction …

The generation of laser ablation depth data in the ultrafast (100ps) time regime is important
for the validation of radiation hydrodynamic codes in that time regime. We present a …

Thermal transport of uniformly laser-irradiated spheres of various materials is investigated
computationally. One-dimensional simulations of low-to mid-Z materials (Be, Al, and Cu) are …

This chapter describes the motivation and applications of the present work in the fields of
physics and engineering, and outlines the scope of this dissertation. This research is …
