Recent results of the Defect-Induced Mix Experiments (DIME) on NIF

Investigations of directly driven implosions have been performed including experiments on Omega, and more recently NIF, to deduce the extent and uniformity of 4$\pi $ and defect-induced mix near the shell/gas interface of plastic (CH) capsules filled with 5 atm D$_{2}$ gas. Imaging diagnostics are used to measure the spatial variation of mix caused by the growth of non-uniformities in both capsule and laser drive characteristics. Thin (2$\mu $m) layers containing 1-2{\%} (atomic) mid-Z dopants are imaged spectrally at late time in the implosion using multiple monochromatic imaging of H-like and He-like atomic line emission. Areal image backlighting of the capsules provides both $r(t)$ and the symmetry of the implosion. Recent results will be shown including inferred 4$\pi $ mix width, laser imprint induced mix, and mix from capsule variations.
