Tracer Spectroscopy for Ablator Characterization:
Experiments at the OMEGA Laser
Since the goal is to better control the ablation physics, and thus the implosion of an ICF fuel capsule, via the mixing of high-opacity dopants into the ablator materials, we need a means for measuring the time-dependent properties in the interior of abla
Over the past several years we have designed and carried out a series of experiments with the goal of using backlit X-ray absorption spectroscopy of thin tracer layers to characterize the physical conditions within doped and undoped ablator materials. Th
