In-flight observations of low-mode ρR asymmetries in NIF implosions

Charged-particle spectroscopy is used to assess implosion symmetry in ignition-scale indirect-drive implosions for the first time. Surrogate D³He gas-filled implosions at the National Ignition Facility produce energetic protons via D+³He fusion that are used to measure the implosion areal density (ρ...
