Abstract
An experimental campaign to maximize radiation drive in small-scale
hohlraums has been carried out at the National Ignition Facility
(NIF) at the Lawerence Livermore National Laboratory (Livermore, CA,
USA) and at the OMEGA laser at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics
(Rochester, NY, USA). The small-scale hohlraums, laser energy, laser
pulse, and diagnostics were similar at both facilities but the
geometries were very different. The NIF experiments used on-axis
laser beams whereas the OMEGA experiments used 19 beams in three
beam cones. In the cases when the lasers coupled well and produced
similar radiation drive, images of x-ray burnthrough and laser
deposition indicate the pattern of plasma filling is very different.
