Abstract

Self-generated magnetic fields are expected to be generated in excess of 10,000T in ICF hot-spots [1] . A model for magnetic flux generation is presented, showing that more flux is expected around large amplitude and high mode perturbations. The model compares favorably with Gorgon extended-MHD simulations, allowing for greater understanding of which target designs will be susceptible to MHD effects. For example, the model can be used to ascertain when most magnetic flux is expected to be generated. If generation is weighted more towards early times, then more high-mode magnetic field loops will be generated; even if the high-mode perturbations are ablatively stabilized at later times, the high mode magnetic field will still be present.
