Abstract

Cryogenic deuterium-tritium targets are imploded on the OMEGA Laser System in a direct-drive configuration. Arcal densities of approximately 200 mg/cm² have been measured with implosion velocities of 3 × 10⁷ cm/s. These implosions are used to study the dynamics of cryogenic target compression and to develop areal-density diagnostics that will be used as parr of the ignition campaign on the National Ignition Facility.
