Abstract

The implosions of thin-walled, large-diameter, deuterium-tritium-filled glass microballoon targets ablatively driven by the 351-nm, 2-kJ OMEGA laser are reported. Compressed-fuel diagnostics, including the first direct simultaneous measurements of the fuel and shell areal densities, and detailed hydrodynamic simulations determine the effect of illumination uniformity on implosion symmetry.
