Spectroscopic modeling of an argon-doped shock-ignition implosion

Abstract

We present results from the spectral postprocessing of a one-dimensional hydrodynamic simulationof an argon-doped, warm-shell shock-ignition implosion with a detailed atomic and radiationphysics model. The argon tracer is added to the deuterium filling in the core for diagnostic purposes.Spectral features in the emergent intensity distribution in the photon energy range of the argonK-shell spectrum that have potential for diagnostic application are discussed.
