Kurzfassung:
Magnetizing a cryogenic deuterium–tritium (DT)-layered inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosion can improve performance by reducing thermal conduction and improving DT-alpha confinement in the hot spot. A room-temperature, magnetized indirect-drive ICF platform at the National Ignition Facility has been developed, using a high-Z, high-resistivity AuTa4 alloy as the hohlraum wall material. Experiments show a 2.5× increase in deuterium–deuterium (DD) neutron yield and a 0.8-keV increase in hot-spot temperature with the application of a 12-T B-field. For an initial 26-T B-field, we observed a 2.9× yield increase and a 1.1-keV temperature increase, with the inferred burn-averaged B-field in the compressed hot spot estimated to be 7.1 ± 1.8 kT using measured primary DD-n and secondary DT-n neutron yields.
