Overview of OMEGA Experiments * Indirect-drive experiments were performed at OMEGA to study the effects of mid-Z dopants (Ge-doped CH) on radiation propagation through ablator materials. In these experiments, K  absorption spectroscopy of thin tracer layers (e.g., NaCl and KF) was used to track the radiation front burning into the ablator material. *Experiments supported by the U. S. Dept. of Energy National Laser Users’ Facility Program. Ablator materials were attached to the ends of cylindrical halfraums (see illustrations below). In some experiments, dual ablator patches were used (one with Ge dopant, the other without). In this poster, we discuss simulations of these experiments, focussing in particular on: the halfraum radiation field, and the spectrum incident on the ablator; the effect of non-Planckian incident spectrum on the heating of the ablator; the sensitivity of the incident flux onto the ablator to laser pointing; the effect of backlighter photons on the incident flux at the ablator; beam power imbalance effects; the uniformity of the radiation field at the ablator.

Parameters: Halfraums (L = 1200  m, R = 800  m); LEH points toward port P7. 15 OMEGA laser beams into the halfraum, each having 1 ns flat-topped profiles. 3 backlighter beams. Target Configuration Powell scope (X-TVS view) Ablator patch, overlaid by washer (washer occults laser hot spots; reduces source size).

VisRad Is Used to Simulate the Halfraum Radiation Field VisRad is a 3-D view factor code used to study the radiation environment in ICF-related experiments. Graphical user interface and 3-D interactive graphics provide: - convenient target grid set-up and pointing of laser beams; - easy viewing from any diagnostic port, or any user-specified location; - interactive graphics for display of results. Laser beam energy deposition is computed using a 3-D ray-trace algorithm. VisRad includes spatial beam profile models for OMEGA SG3/SG8 phase plates. Laser beams can be pointed and target components positions and orientations can be set up utilizing the target chamber coordinate system or the coordinate system of any other target component. Incident fluxes onto each surface element in the grid is obtain by solving the “radiosity” equation: B i = E i +  i  k  F ik B k, where F ik = configuration factor  i = albedo B i =  T i 4 (emission flux) E i = source term Simulated target (X-TVS view)

The Incident Flux at the Ablator Is Very Uniform Using beams with uniform powers, the maximum change in flux (peak-to- valley) across the central 600  m diameter of the ablator patch is only 1.4% (0.35% in T R ). [Because of aperturing, only central ablator region is seen.] 1200 mm diameter ablator region View of entire halfraum The incident flux (=  T R 4 ) at the ablator sample is ~ eV higher than throughout the rest of the halfraum. View from P7 direction

Effect of Beam Pointing on Drive Temperature at Ablator 15 “drive” beams used: Cone 2 (5 beams at 42.0 degrees) and Cone 3 (10 beams at 58.9 degrees). The drive temperature on the ablator can be increased by ~ 3.5 eV -- or about 8.4 % in flux -- when offsetting Cone 2 and Cone 3 by ~ 300  m (wrt no offset case).

Effect of Backlighter on Incident Spectrum at Ablator The B/L beams’ focus points occur near the plane of the LEH. Spot size on backlighter is ~ 300  m (diameter). Figure below shows radiation drive temperature on ablator with (solid curve) and without (dotted curve) backlighter beams. The backlighter beams increase T R by ~ 3.5 eV at early times and ~ 1.4 eV at late times. Incident spectrum on ablator (left) shows spectrum is non-Planckian due to hot spots, but backlighter contributes little to total spectrum.

Effect of Beam Imbalance on Wall Temperature Seen by Dante Beams 25, 50, 45, & 69 are in the Dante field of view. Approximately 50% of the flux seen by Dante is due to laser hot spots. Figure (right) shows Shot beams energies were relatively low for beams 25 and 69. When taking into account actual beams powers: -- the flux at Dante decreases by 8.7% -- inferred temperature decreases by ~ eV View from Dante (H16)

Spectra Were Obtained Using the LXS Spectrometer View from LXS (~ P6) 6 backlighter beams were used (Cone 1: beams 10, 28, 31; Cone 2: beams 17, 20, 33). Delays of 300 ps and 600 ps both extended length of backlighter time and provided timing information. From our April 2000 campaign, we obtained time-dependent LXS spectra from germanium-doped plastic and undoped ablators. The LXS was in TIM 4 (P6), and had an angle offset (downward) of 9 degrees.

Experimental Spectra 1.5% germanium dopantUndoped plastic The above figures show LXS spectra from a Ge-doped plastic (right) and an undoped ablator (left). Spectra show hints of Cl K  absorption, and suggest radiation wave propagates more slowly in the Ge-doped ablator case. Absorption of K  spectral lines appears weak. Reasons for this are not fully understood at this time. Possibilities: Salts used for tracers not uniformly distributed. Contamination of spectra by other hot plasma sources.

Calculation of Drive Temperatures at Ablator To determine drive temperature at the ablator, VisRad simulations were performed using: Time-dependent albedos based on 1-D rad-hydro simulations (red curve). Time-dependent x-ray conversion efficiencies (  x ) based on: Contraints by Dante data (dotted green curve) Simple model [assumed] (solid green curve) Measures beam laser powers (blue curve) To match the Dante data, (anomalously?) low values for  x are required. Such low values were not needed in analyzing previous experiments (see upper right figure). April 2000 Halfraum Shots

Calculated Drive Temperatures at Ablator View factor calculations were performed to compute the flux incident on the ablator and the wall temperature seen by Dante. The drive temperature at the ablator is slightly higher (up to ~ 5%) than the wall temperature seen by Dante. Dante sees laser hot spots due to several beams. Only ~ 50% of the flux seen by Dante is due to wall reemission.

Calculated Temperature Distributions in the Ablator Sample Using the time-dependent incident spectra computed from VisRad, the ablator plasma conditions were computed from 1-D radiation-hydrodynamics simulations. Comparisons between simulations using Planckian and non-Planckian spectra are shown at right. Results using non-Planckian incident spectra are shown as solid curves. Results using Planckian incident spectra are shown as dotted curves. Summary of radiation-hydrodynamics results (shown for undoped ablator case): Temperatures in the thin NaCl tracer initially rise more rapidly due to its higher opacity. Results for non-Planckian and Planckian incident spectra are roughly similar, with differences being more pronounced at early times (~ a factor of 2 in the tracer at early times).

SPECT3D Simulations Were Performed to Predict K  Absorption Spectra SPECT3D* is a collisional-radiative code used to post-process 1-D and multi-D radiation-hydrodynamics datasets. Given the spatial distribution of T and  in a plasma, it computes high-resolution spectra, fluxes, and images (e.g., framing camera, Schleirren, radiographs) for the plasma. Here, our 1-D rad-hydro calculations are post-processed to compute synthetic K  absorption spectra due to the NaCl tracer. * MacFarlane, Thomas-Cramer, Park, and Zeng, “Spect3D Imaging and Spectral Analysis Suite,” Prism Computational Sciences Report No. PCS-R-027, July DCA => detailed configuration accounting. 2 LTE => local thermodynamic equilibrium. Material radiative properties can be modeled at several levels of detail: DCA 1 : -- LTE 2 or non-LTE atomic level populations computed explicitly; -- b-b, b-f, and f-f opacities / emissivities computed on-line; -- used to obtain spectra of low- to mid-Z elements. non-DCA: -- atomic level populations not computed on-line; -- opacities from LTE or non-LTE multi-group opacities; -- generally used for higher-Z materials.

Synthetic Chlorine  Spectra Calculated spectra show the onset of K  absorption at ~ 200 psec. This is due to vacancies appearing in the L-shell => F-like Cl. The tracer is “pre-heated” by high energy photons that penetrate the ablator material. The appearance of He- and Li-like Cl is not predicted until after 600 psec. This appears to be at odds with the measured LXS spectra. Calculated streaked spectra.Spectral lineouts (calculated).

Summary View factor simulations of our OMEGA experiments show:  the incident flux onto the ablator is very uniform;  the incident spectrum is non-Planckian due to laser hot spots;  the backlighter photons contribute little (~ a couple %) to the radiation field at the ablator;  beam power imbalance can affect hohlraum temperature inferred from Dante data because Dante directly sees several laser hot spots;  offsetting Cone 2 laser beams wrt Cone 3 can raise the drive temperature at the ablator sample by eV;  the drive temperatures at the ablator are higher (~ 5%) than the wall temperatures inferred by Dante. Rad-hydro & K  spectral simulations predict that:  the NaCl thin tracer layer is pre-heated early due to high-energy photons;  the onset of F-like chlorine K  absorption is predicted to occur by ~ 200 psec;  the onset of He- and Li-like chlorine K  absorption is predicted to occur after 600 psec, which appears to be at odds with experimental spectra.  LXS experimental spectra show hints of Cl K  absorption, but data may suffer from: -- target fab issues (non-uniform layering of NaCl => salt crystals) -- contamination by stray hot plasma sources (?).
