Measuring fusion yields, areal densities, and ion temperatures of imploded capsules at OMEGA (abstract)

With charged-particle spectroscopy implemented on OMEGA, we have been able to routinely measure the particle spectra (both nuclear lines and continua) from a variety of capsule implosions. Important parameters such as fusion yields, fuel and shell areal densities, and ion temperatures can be readily deduced. We will report on details of this work with emphasis on the implosion physics.
