“Noizy” low-density targets that worked as bright emitters under laser illumination

Abstract

Low-density structured targets are widely used to study some isolated problems of ICF. Here we compare selected laser experiments with our targets, mostly non-thermonuclear, non-standard, individually designed for plasma features quantitative investigations. The mutual cross-check and verification is done in past few years, because “noizy” nature is more pronounced at less density. Our targets were applied on European drivers of LULI 2000, PALS, LIL, PHELIX, also on GEKKO-XII, in Russian-Indian laser-foam interaction series.
