Characterizing the Effect of Magnetization at >10 KT in Cylindrically Imploded Hot Dense Plasmas Using Dopant Spectroscopy Techniques and Benchmarked Simulations

We present the design, numerical simulations, and results of magnetized cylindrical implosions performed at the OMEGA facility. The cylindrical targets are filled with Ar-doped D 2 gas and are symmetrically imploded using a 36-beam, 15 kJ, 1.5 ns laser drive. The implosions are magnetized using the MIFEDS capability, delivering a seed B-field of 24 T along the axis of the cylindrical targets. X-ray framed imaging is used to characterize the implosions; the effect of magnetization on the compressed core conditions is obtained via Ar K-shell emission and measurements of primary neutrons.
