10th DOE Laser Safety Workshop Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory August 19, 2014

Dr. C. P. J. Barty Chief Technology Officer National Ignition Facility and Photon Science Directorate Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Co-chair International Committee on Ultrahigh Intensity Lasers

This work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344 The pursuit of ultrahigh intensity science & apps is driving a world wide development of new capabilities The pursuit of ultrahigh intensity science & apps is driving a world wide development of new capabilities The pursuit of ultrahigh intensity science & apps is driving a world wide development of new capabilities

Transmission Compton Radiography Optical depth of the fuel and ablator

• Compton radiography is sensitive to ne (not Z): ideal for probing DT fuel shape and density uniformity inside ablator

• Allows broadband operation as Compton cross section that dominates at high energy is weakly dependent on photon energy

• Radiography source is independently timed, in contrast to burn products

• Would require up 60 long pulse beam lines to do the same job! Each ARC beamlet uses chirped-pulse amplification to produce ps-timescale, laser pulses w/ > kJ energy
