Abstract
In order to obtain the pusher attenuation length (ρΔR) of inertial confinement fusion targets by neutron activation, it is necessary to know what fraction of the target debris is counted. One method of measuring this quantity experimentally is by means of a radioactive tracer. We demonstrate the usefulness of this technique by experiments utilizing a 24Na tracer.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
