Accomplishments of the 100-Gbar Campaign on OMEGA

ORAL

Abstract

The 100-Gbar Campaign on OMEGA investigated key aspects of laser-direct-drive inertial confinement fusion: laser power balance, fill-tube target research and development, diagnostic research and development, laser–plasma interactions (LPI's), laser imprint, laser upgrades for LPI mitigation, shock timing, 1-D implosion physics and optimization campaigns, implosion modeling and simulations, and 3-D reconstruction of the implosion. The observed increase of the stagnation pressure from 50 Gbar to 80 Gbar and a corresponding increase in the energy-scaled, generalized Lawson criterion from 0.56 to 0.8 during the campaign will be reported. The innovations spurred in machine-learning data analysis techniques based on statistical modeling, the development of laser and target solutions to mitigate implosion-degradation mechanisms, the development of 3-D diagnostics to understand implosion symmetry and the flow velocity of the fusing hot-spot plasma, and the development of next-generation, broad-bandwidth lasers to mitigate LPI and laser imprint will be highlighted.
