Effects of the radiation field on the physical processes of laser-produced plasmas
, Wuli Xuebao Acta Physica Sinica, Vol: 50, ISSN: 1000-3290A numerical simulation study was done on effects of an ambient radiation field on the processes of excitation and ionization in a plasma, using a non-LTE ionised material package NIMP. It has potential importance in the future experimental design to study the effects of the radiation field on the physical processes in the astrophysical reseach.

Conference paperChittenden JP, Zepf M, Lebedev SV, et al., 2001,
Indirect drive ICF using highly supersonic, radiatively cooled, plasma slugs
, Pages: P4-F04, ISSN: 0730-9244Details are presented of a new approach to indirect drive inertial confinement fusion which makes use of highly supersonic, radiatively cooled, slugs of plasma to energise a hohlraum. Such projectiles could be formed by, for example, the implosion of a conical tungsten wire array (in a similar fashion to radiatively cooled jets) or by using a radial wire array accelerated along a coaxial plasma gun. In each case, substantial radiative cooling of the tungsten plasma at the launch point results in very high Mach numbers and low divergence. 2D resistive MHD simulations are presented which suggest that a 'Z' class machine can produce a mm sized slug of a few ns duration containing several hundred kJ of kinetic energy. This object therefore has the potential to deliver - 100TW of kinetic flux (similar to a singly charged heavy ion beam of ∼100MA current) into a hohlraum of small dimension. Simulations of the interaction of such a plasma slug with a convener foil show efficient conversion of kinetic energy into radiation. 3D view-factor calculations of a roughly NIF-scale cylindrical hohlraum with twin converter foils are then used to establish the drive temperature and symmetry for capsule implosion experiments. The potential advantages of the system for the ignition of relatively small capsules on modest sized facilities with the potential for limited stand-off between the driver and the target are discussed.

Electron impact excitation of Gd XXXVII and radiative rates for Ni-like ions with 60 ≤ Z ≤ 90
, Pages: Pr2313-Pr2316, ISSN: 1155-4339Energy levels and radiative rates for transitions among the 107 fine-structure levels belonging to the (1s<sup>2</sup>2s<sup>2</sup>2p<sup>6</sup>) 3s<sup>2</sup>3p<sup>6</sup>3d<sup>10</sup>, 3s<sup>2</sup>3p<sup>6</sup>3d<sup>9</sup>4l, 3s<sup>2</sup>3p<sup>5</sup>3d<sup>10</sup>4l, and 3s3p<sup>6</sup>3d<sup>10</sup>4l configurations of Ni-like ions with 60 ≤ Z ≤ 90 have been calculated using the GRASP code. The collision strengths (Ω) have also been computed for transitions in Gd XXXVII at energies below 800 Ryd, using the DARC code. Resonances have been resolved in a fine energy mesh in the threshold region, and excitation rate coefficients have been calculated for transitions from the ground level to excited levels at temperatures below 2500 eV. These have been compared with those available in the literature, and enhancement in the values of rates, due to resonances, has been observed up to an order of magnitude for some of the transitions.
