Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Final Report

Description: There are 3 topics of primary importance in this report: (1) The calculation of electric-microfield-distribution functions for plasmas having ions and electrons at different kinetic temperatures, (2) The calculation of electric microfield distributions for one-temperature plasmas having two species of ions present in varying ratios, (3) The extension of the line-shape (profile) calculation to higher-series (Lyman) members. Brief mention is made of 2 other problems: (4) The calculation of electr… more

Stark broadening in hot, dense laser-produced plasmas

Description: Broadened Lyman-$alpha$ x-ray lines from neon X and argon XVIII radiators, which are immersed in a hot, dense deuterium or deuterium-tritium plasma, are discussed. In particular, these lines are analyzed for several temperature-density cases, characteristic of laser-produced plasmas; special attention paid to the relative importance of ion, electron, and Doppler effects. Static ion microfield distribution functions are tabulated.

[Research technology and graduate education proposal processing]. Final technical report

Description: The body of this report is contained in the three attached documents which deal with plasma spectroscopy of laser-produced plasmas. In appendix A the authors consider the Stark broadening effects that occur when bound and continuum states interact during line emission. Appendix B addresses spectroscopic analysis of recent implosions driven by the Omega Laser system, and appendix C presents early studies of plasma induced line shifts from both an experimental and theoretical point of view.

[Time resolved plasma spectroscopy of imploded gas-filled microballoons: The next generation]. Final technical report, 17 April 1995--30 September 1997

Description: This report is comprised of three documents which deal with plasma spectroscopy of laser-produced plasmas. In Appendix A the authors present a discussion of plasma line broadening with emphasis on the effects of accounting for ion-dynamic corrections. For two decades, high power lasers have been used to implode microballoons filled with gases such as neon, argon, deuterium, or mixtures of deuterium and argon. These implosions have generated high-temperature ({approx} 1 keV) and high density ({a… more

Diagnosis of high-temperature implosions using low- and high-opacity Krypton lines

Description: High-temperature laser target implosions can be achieved by using relatively thin-shell targets, and they can be. diagnosed by doping the fuel with krypton and measuring K-shell and L-shell lines. Electron temperatures of up to 5 keV at modest compressed densities ({approximately}1-5g/cm{sup 3}) are predicted for such experiments, with ion temperatures peaking above 10 keV at the center. It is found that the profiles of low-opacity (optically thin) lines in the expected density range are domina… more
