Abstract
The implosion hydrodynamics of temperature-controlled cryogenic deuter ium foam targets with plastic ablators is investigated. The experiment al data recorded with x-ray imaging systems are compared to a one-dime nsional (1D) simulation. The ablation front trajectories derived from x-ray streak-camera data agree with 1D simulation. However, an x-ray c ore emission is observed at an earlier time, and for a longer duration than that predicted. For the three liquid-fuel shots, the convergence ratios are, respectively, 0.4, 0.9, and 0.7 times that predicted by t he ID simulation.
