Yield variability and robustness of a hydrodynamically scaled-up N210808
ORAL
Abstract
1-d radiation hydrodynamics simulations were performed with HYDRA to assess the yield variability and robustness of N210808 as a function of hydrodynamic scale. It is expected that the yield variability initially increases with scale as one moves up along the ignition cliff, followed by a robust burning phase characterized by low yield variability and high burn-up fraction. We map out the variability as a function of scale while taking into account observed variations in the laser pulse delivery of N210808 as well as target fabrication limits on the capsule (e.g., variations in the ice layer thickness).
