摘要
We have developed and fielded a new x-ray pinhole-imaging snout that exploits time-resolved penumbral imaging of low-emission hot spots in capsule implosion experiments at the National Ignition Facility. We report results for a series of indirectly driven Be capsule implosions that aim at measuring x-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) spectra at extreme density conditions near stagnation. In these implosions, x-ray emission at stagnation is reduced by 100-1000X compared to standard inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions to mitigate undesired continuum background in the XRTS spectra. Our snout design not only enables measurements of peak x-ray emission times, t(o), where standard ICF diagnostics would not record any signal, but also allows for inference of hot spot shapes. Measurement of t(o) is crucial to account for shot-to-shot variations in implosion velocity and therefore to benchmark the achieved plasma conditions between shots and against radiation hydrodynamic simulations. Additionally, we used differential filtering to infer a hot spot temperature of 520 +/- 80 eV, which is in good agreement with predictions from radiation hydrodynamic simulations. We find that, despite fluctuations of the x-ray flash intensity of up to 5X, the emission time history is similar from shot to shot and slightly asymmetric with respect to peak x-ray emission.
