Exploding-pusher-tamper areal density measurement by neutron activation

  • 1. University of California, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, Livermore, California 94550

Description

Neutron activation of 28Si nuclei was used to measure the areal density rhoΔR of a silicate-glass tamper of a laser-driven exploding-pusher target. The values found were in good agreement with complex computer codes and an empirically based scaling model. This is the first demonstration of a technique that will be used in diagnosing the compression of high-density inertial confinement fusion targets
