Exploring the parameter space of MagLIF implosions using similarity scaling. III. Rise-time scaling

D. E. Ruiz et al.

Summary: Magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) is a z-pinch magneto-inertial-fusion concept. This study analyzes the variations in the performance of MagLIF loads by changing the current-rise time or equivalently, the implosion timescale. Comparisons between numerical simulations and theory show the trade-offs in the MagLIF design space when considering future pulsed-power generators with shorter and longer current-rise times.

Exploring the parameter space of MagLIF implosions using similarity scaling. II. Current scaling

D. E. Ruiz et al.

Summary: Magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) is a promising concept for achieving fusion reactions, which has shown interesting results in laboratory experiments. However, scaling this concept to higher peak currents is challenging due to the complex nature of the experimental parameters and physical processes involved. In this work, a novel method based on similarity scaling is proposed to scale MagLIF loads, aiming to preserve known physics regimes and reduce the risk of unexpected outcomes in future experiments.

Exploring the parameter space of MagLIF implosions using similarity scaling. I. Theoretical framework

D. E. Ruiz et al.

Summary: Magneto-inertial fusion concepts, such as the magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) platform, provide an alternative approach for achieving fusion in the laboratory. Through simplified analytical modeling and non-dimensional analysis, the important parameters characterizing MagLIF implosions are identified and estimated using experimental observations. It is found that MagLIF implosions can be incompletely similarity scaled, allowing exploration of the parameter space and estimation of performance for scaled loads. The subsequent papers in this series test the similarity-scaling theory for MagLIF loads against simulations with different scaling vectors.

Electrode plasma formation and melt in Z-pinch accelerators

N. Bennett et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that electrode plasmas in multi-MA pulsed-power accelerators can reduce efficiency by shunting current upstream from the load. In this study, fully relativistic, Monte Carlo particle-in-cell (PIC) and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations were performed to examine the generation and evolution of these electrode plasmas at a range of peak currents. The simulations reveal the breakdown of the electrode surface and particle transport prior to electrode melt, as well as the subsequent evolution of the bulk electrode during melt. The findings provide a physical description of plasma formation and melt that can be applied to higher-energy pulsed-power systems.

Effects and mitigation of pulsed power radiation on optical fiber velocimetry

D. H. Dolan et al.

Summary: Optical fiber diagnostics are widely used in pulsed power experiments, but radiation can affect measurements. Catastrophic fiber darkening can be mitigated with shielding. Radiation-induced refractive index modulations are challenging for optical interferometry.

Development of a Multiphase Beryllium Equation of State and Physics-based Variations

Christine J. Wu et al.

Summary: A family of beryllium multiphase equation of state models has been constructed to account for different physics-based uncertainties. Through density functional theory (DFT) calculations, new information about EOS properties for high-temperature liquid and high-pressure bcc phases has been obtained to validate the selected models. The baseline EOS predicts specific density properties and transition pressures, while variations are generated to accommodate various sources of uncertainties.

Simultaneous inference of the compressibility and inelastic response of tantalum under extreme loading

W. J. Schill et al.

Summary: The deformation of tantalum under extreme loading conditions was studied using experimental velocity data from Z-machine ramp loading experiments and gas gun compression experiments. Bayesian model calibration was used to infer physically motivated parameters, showing improvement over previous calibrations. Trade-offs between accuracy and transferability were revealed when examining Z-shots and gun-shots together and separately.

Magnetized particle transport in multi-MA accelerators

N. Bennett et al.

Summary: The kinetic simulations of Sandia National Laboratories' Z machine investigate particle transport in a highly magnetized environment. The results show that particles emitted in a space-charge-limited manner have magnetic insulation in the absence of plasma, but are transported across the magnetic field in the presence of plasma. The Hall conductivities are calculated using particle densities and energies, and the parameters that increase the Hall current are related to transmission line inductance.
