Investigation of ion kinetic effects in direct-drive exploding-pusher implosions at the NIF

Measurements of yield, ion temperature, areal density (ρR), shell convergence, and bang time have been obtained in shock-driven, D₂ and D³He gas-filled "exploding-pusher" inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions at the National Ignition Facility to assess the impact of ion kinetic effe...
