DT Yield and Ion Temperature Measurement with a Cherenkov Neutron Time-of-Flight Detector on OMEGA

ORAL

Abstract

A Cherenkov neutron time-of-flight (nTOF) detector is currently installed in a collimated line of sight (LOS) on OMEGA at 13 m from the target next to a scintillator-based nTOF detector. The neutron-yield and ion-temperature measurements by these two detectors in the same LOS and at the same distance make it possible distinguish instrumental and physics effects in high-yield inertial confinement fusion experiments. The results of the measurements in experiments with cryogenic and room-temperature implosions with a wide range of neutron yields and ion temperatures will be presented.
