Exploration of polar direct drive wetted foam concepts for neutron sources on the National Ignition Facility laser
A multi-laboratory collaborative effort is currently exploring the feasibility of laser direct drive liquid deuterium–tritium (DT) wetted foam inertial confinement fusion concepts being considered for novel neutron sources on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) laser. In contrast to the laser indirect drive approach that recently demonstrated ignition in the laboratory, these concepts also offer the […]
