摘要
A new radiochemical method for determining deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel and plastic ablator (CH) areal densities (rho R) in high-convergence, cryogenic inertial confinement fusion implosions at the National Ignition Facility is described. It is based on measuring the Au-198/Au-196 activation ratio using the collected post-shot debris of the Au hohlraum. The Au ratio combined with the independently measured neutron down scatter ratio uniquely determines the areal densities rho R(DT) and rho R(CH) during burn in the context of a simple 1-dimensional capsule model. The results show larger than expected rho R(CH) values, hinting at the presence of cold fuel-ablator mix. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4926743]
