The role of hot electrons in the dynamics of a laser-driven strong converging shock

Résumé

Experiments on strong shock excitation in spherical plastic targets conducted at the Omega Laser Facility are interpreted with the radiation–hydrodynamics code CHIC to account for parametric instabilities excitation and hot-electron generation. The effects of hot electrons on the shock-pressure amplification and upstream preheat are analyzed. It is demonstrated that both effects contribute to an increase in the shock velocity. Comparison of the measured laser reflectivity and shock flash time with numerical simulations makes it possible to reconstitute the time history of the ablation and shock pressures. Consequences of this analysis for the shock-ignition target design are discussed.
