Abstract
Measurement of the areal density and velocity of the carbon ablator shell during peak burn in inertial confinement fusion give powerful information on the state of the ablator and where in the trajectory of implosion it reaches peak burn. Detailed comparison of the absolute densities and velocities of the carbon in implosions has been prevented by the limited ability to resolve shot-to-shot variation within a shot series or within a campaign. A new approach using a single, ultra fast (∼10 ps) gamma ray channel can massively reduce uncertainties and will provide insights on improvements to target and drive variables. Small improvements in these experimental design parameters may result in much greater yields.
