Recent experiments systematically studied subscale beryllium-capsule implosions on NIF A.B. Zylstra et al., Phys. Plasmas 26, 052707 (2019), finding that the performance was well explained by invoking an inline model for mix at the fuel ablator interface. This model is optimistic about the performance of full-scale beryllium implosions, motivating an exploratory study on tactics for fielding larger capsules within the current limits of power and energy available at NIF. Here we report the results of that work, finding that using a ‘picketless’ pulse would allow a 25% increase in capsule size, which is predicted to substantially improve performance.
