Influence of mass ablation on ignition and burn propagation in layered fusion capsules

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: W. Daughton et al. from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA have published the paper: Influence of mass ablation on ignition and burn propagation in layered fusion capsules, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: Using analytic theory and numerical simulations the authors demonstrate that the mass ablation rate into the hot spot depends sensitively upon the temperature of the dense fuel resulting in ablative inflows up to 4 faster than previous estimates. The authors demonstrate that these new predictions are consistent with radiation-hydrodynamic simulations and with the experimentally observed ignition . . .
