An important diagnostic value of a shot at the National Ignition Facility is the resultant center-of-mass motion of the imploding capsule. This residual velocity reduces the efficiency of converting laser energy into plasma temperature. A new analysis method extracts the effective hot spot motion by using information from multiple neutron time-of-flight (nToF) lines-of-sight (LoSs). This technique fits a near Gaussian spectrum to the nToF scope traces and overcomes reliance on models to relate the plasma temperature to the mean energy of the emitted neutrons. This method requires having at least four nToF LoSs. The results of this analysis will be compared to an approach where each LoS is analyzed separately and a model is used to infer the mean energy of the emitted neutrons. Published by AIP Publishing.
