Abstract
- A large area solid radiochemistry collector was deployed at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) with a collection efficiency for post-shot, solid target debris of approximately 1% of the total 4π solid angle. The collector consisted of a 20-cm diameter vanadium foil surrounded by an aluminum side-enclosure and was fielded 50 cm from the NIF target. The collector was used on two NIF neutron yield shots, both of which had a monolayer of <superscript>238</superscript> U embedded in the capsule ablator 10 μ m from the inner surface. Fission and activation products produced in the <superscript>238</superscript> U were collected, and subsequent analyses via gamma spectroscopy indicated that the distribution of fission products was not uniform, with peak and valley fission products preferentially collected on the vanadium and low- and high-mass fission products primarily located on the aluminum side-enclosure. The results from these shots will be used to design future nuclear data experiments at NIF.
