A Hybrid Scheme to Achieve Highest Implosion Performance on the OMEGA Laser

A. Lees, D. Cao, D. Patel, K. S. Anderson, L. Ceurvorst, P. S. Farmakis, R. Betti, V. Gopalaswamy

Hybrid shock-drive targets on OMEGA use an initial x-ray shock from a gold shell to suppress instabilities and project an 85 percent increase in the record Lawson parameter.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

HSD targets are projected to significantly enhance fusion yields, potentially increasing the record Lawson parameter by ∼85% on OMEGA while effectively eliminating the requirement for laser smoothing.

C2weakest assumption

That the 2D integrated simulations accurately capture the suppression of hydrodynamic instabilities and performance gains without significant 3D effects or unmodeled physics in real experiments.

C3one line summary

Hybrid shock drive targets on OMEGA are projected to increase the record Lawson parameter by ~85% via combined x-ray pre-shock and direct-drive implosion that suppresses laser imprint instabilities.
