1 Fukuoka, Japan 23 August 2012 National Ignition Facility (NIF) LLNL-PRES This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under contract DE-AC52-07NA Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC Laboratory for Laser Energetics (OPERA)
2 Capsule diameter ~1 mm National Ignition Facility NIF is a three football stadium-sized laser, which delivers ~1.8 MJ to a cm-scaled hohlraum Hohlraum 2
3 The opportunities for fundamental science experiments at NIF are expected to increase gradually over the next few decades.
4 Advantages Plasma environment is like a star Negligible electron screening corrections New phenomena Neutron flux is very bright Smaller targets Experiment is short (1 ps 1 ns) No radioactive backgrounds Flux (n/s/cm 2 ) { { 10 0 WNR Reactor SNS ~1 cm Capsule NIF
5 Disadvantages Plasma environment is complex Spatial and temporal profiles Currently not well modeled Laser environment is complex Difficult to cover large solid angle n D, n T [cm!3 ] 10 x 1020 OMEGA ns ns LSP, fully ns n D, n T Experiment is short (1 ps 1 ns) No coincidence events x [µm]! ei We are performing our measurements at the OMEGA laser, U. of Rochester. This 60-beam, 30-kJ facility is ideal for developing these new techniques.

16 R-matrix resonance model fit (G. Hale) Resonance analysis of the Wong spectrum Cross section data are consistent with R-matrix parameters independent of energy. Experiments suggest that the reaction mechanism is changing at lower energies. S. Quaglioni, P. Navratil et al. are working to extend ab initio methods.

What particle transport mechanisms are responsible for this effect? 17
18 The T+T reaction mechanism is changing as the reaction energy is lowered 3He+3He is probably similar This is not understood in the context of R-matrix methods Three bodies in the final state make this complicated Better data are expected shortly from both OMEGA and NIF Nuclear physics is helping to shed light on complex behavior occurring in these dynamic experiments Central region of the plasma is tritium-rich as fusion occurs Is there something else? There are many other astrophysical reactions which can be studied at these laser-driven plasma facilities relevant to pp-chain, CNO cycle and BBN
