Description

This paper describes results of indirect drive implosion experiments of Cannonball targets by using 5 kJ/0.7 ns, 10-beam blue GEKKO-XII Nd:glass laser system at ILE, Osaka. Gas-fuel pellet target with initial diameter of 320 μm contained inside a gold cylinder with diameter of 800 μm has been imploded successfully. Implosion performance and core parameters were characterized by x-ray and particle diagnostics up to radial convergence ratio of 10 ∼ 15. (author)
