Imploded core dynamics of shell-cone targets observed with 1D+McMIXS

One and two dimensional x-ray image techniques, employing pinholes and pinhole arrays coupled with an x-ray streak camera (1D+McMIXS), were used in an implosion experiment of a shell with cone target at Gekko-XII laser facility. The different cone angles, θ = 15 deg., 30 deg., and different offsets between the tip of the cone and the centre of target, d = 25 μm, 50 μm, were applied in the implosion experiment. The non-uniform structure of imploded core plasma that is moving toward then colliding with the cone was clearly observed. A low temperature gap between the cone tip and core is observed in the reconstructed 2D temperature map. It also clearly shows the expanding plasma is created on the surface of cone. These results are important for the integrated experiments on the new heating laser facilities
