Laser Performance Operation Model and its application toLIL energy and power balance

摘要

LMJ is a 240 high power laser beam facility for achieving laser matter interactionrnexperiments, high energy density science, including the demonstration of fusion ignitionrnthrough Inertial Confinement. The Laser Integration Line (LIL) facility is currently a 4-beamrnprototype for LMJ. In order to achieve precisely specified energies over a wide range ofrnenergies, power, temporal shapes and pulse lengths, a computational model has been developedrnand optimised on every LIL shot. This optimisation is based on the best fit possible betweenrnthe predicted performances and the measured ones. It is therefore possible to predict therncharacteristics of a given shot in the 4- beam LIL configuration.
