Abstract
The measurement of the number of elastically scattered deuterium and tritium ions is shown experimentally to be an effective means of determining the 〈ρR〉 of the fuel in a laser fusion implosion. A method is described for clearly separating the unwanted proton background signal from the desired d and t knockon signals. The details of the analysis are presented for an experiment resulting in a measured 〈ρR〉 of 1.2×10−3 g/cm2.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
