High-energy γ rays generated from inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments have
become an important signature for studying the dynamics of implosion processes. Due to …

The generation of dynamic high energy density plasmas in the pico-to nano-second time
domain at high-energy laser facilities affords unprecedented nuclear science research …

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

Stars are giant thermonuclear plasma furnaces that slowly fuse the lighter elements in the
universe into heavier elements, releasing energy, and generating the pressure required to …

The neutron spectrum produced by deuterium-tritium (DT) inertial confinement fusion
implosions contains a wealth of information about implosion performance including the DT …

We present the first results from an experimental campaign to measure the atomic ablator-
gas mix in the deceleration phase of gas-filled capsule implosions on the National Ignition …

Surrogate implosions play an important role at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) for isolating
aspects of the complex physical processes associated with fully integrated ignition …

The Borromean He 6 nucleus is an exotic system characterized by two halo neutrons
orbiting around a compact He 4 (or α) core, in which the binary subsystems are unbound …

Neutron time-of-flight spectra from inertial confinement fusion experiments with tritium-filled
targets have been measured at the National Ignition Facility. These spectra represent a …

An absolute cross section for the radiative capture reaction H 2 (p, γ) He 3 has been
measured at the OMEGA laser facility using inertially confined plasmas. These high …
