Abstract

We report here on the processing of multi-monochromatic x-ray images recorded with the MMI instrument in a series of stable and low-convergence indirect-drive implosion experiments in which Ar-doped D2-filled plastic shells were imploded with the OMEGA laser system. MMI records numerous narrow-band x-ray images over a broad photon energy range. From these images, specific line- and continuum-based subimages can be extracted. A procedure for processing data from the array of images recorded by MMI was developed and implemented into a convenient interactive data language code. Data from narrow-band x-ray images are critical for diagnosing the spatial structure of ICF implosion cores.
