摘要
Hohlraums measuring 6 mm in diameter by 7 mm height have been heated by x rays from a Z pinch. Over the measured x-ray input powers P of 0.7 to lj TW, the hohlraum radiation temperature T increases from similar to 55 to similar to 130 eV, and is in agreement with the Planckian relation T similar to P-1/4. The results suggest that indirect-drive inertial-confinement-fusion experiments involving National Ignition Facility relevant pulse shapes and <2 mm diameter capsules can be studied using this arrangement.
