Abstract
A gas-chromatographic method for analyzing the fuel content of laser fusion targets has been developed. It provides information on isotope ratios in the fuel gas, percent of molecular species, and total pressure of fuel gas in individual targets to a limit of 0.2 ng DT. The method can also be used to quantify other gaseous components not active in the thermonuclear process (e.g., H2, He, etc.).Keywords
