Abstract
A base-line capsule design for the Laser MegaJoule facility is optimized by radially grading the Ge dopant in plastic ablator. A one dimensional robustness study is performed to optimize the implosion and the entropy deposition. Then, the tolerance versus the ablator roughness is examined for modes over 10 through direct two-dimensional simulations. The stability is significantly higher than that of an uniformly doped design.
