Studies on the motion and radiation of interior plasmas in gas-filled hohlraums with different laser entrance hole sizes

Abstract An experiment on 100 kJ laser facility is performed to study the motive features and radiation properties of plasmas from different areas inside gas-filled cylindrical hohlraums. These hohlraums are designed to possess one open end and one laser entrance hole (LEH) with different diameters,...

Description
Summary:Abstract An experiment on 100 kJ laser facility is performed to study the motive features and radiation properties of plasmas from different areas inside gas-filled cylindrical hohlraums. These hohlraums are designed to possess one open end and one laser entrance hole (LEH) with different diameters, which would or not result in the blocking of the LEH. An x-ray streak camera that is set at 16 degrees with respect to the hohlraum axis is applied to acquire the time-resolved x-ray images from the open end. Based on the images, we can study the evolutions of the wall plasma, corona bubble plasma and LEH plasma simultaneously through an equivalent view field of hohlraum interior. Multi-group flat response x-ray detectors are applied to measure the x-ray fluxes. In order to understand these characteristics, our two-dimensional radiation hydrodynamic code is used to simulate the experimental results. For the accuracy of reproduction, dielectronic recombination and two parameter corrections are applied in our code. Based on the comparison between experiments and simulations, we quantitatively understand the blocking process of LEH and the motion effects of other plasmas. The calibrated code is beneficial to design the gas-filled hohlraum in a nearby parameter space, especially the limit size of LEH.
