Fig. 1. Plot of radiation flux symmetry versus case-to-capsule ratio for Legendre modes P2 and P4 normalized by the flux on the capsule.
Fig. 2. Plots of the hohlraum cross sections showing the laser ray traces with the hohlraum density for a (a) 2200 and (b)
Fig. 3. Case-to-capsule ratio versus convergence ratio design space for 1D simulations for beryllium with both two and three shock pulse shapes. Plot includes the design point for wetted foam targets and typical ignition targets. The size of the points is proportional to neutron yield.
