Diverging Supernova Explosion<br />
Experiments on NIF<br />
• NIF Facility Time (Rosner’s Committee)<br />
• Purpose: This experiment attempts to observe e extensive e Rayleigh-<br />
Taylor driven mixing in the exploding massive stars. Data will give<br />
physics insights <strong>of</strong> inter-shell penetration outwards to surface via<br />
turbulent mixing, shell breakouts, growth <strong>of</strong> secondary instabilities,<br />
vorticity-enhanced mixing.<br />
• 15 shots starting in AY 2012<br />
• Natural continuation <strong>of</strong> the previous work on Omega<br />
• NIF is unique facility enabling studies with spherical targets<br />
(diverging i flow geometry)<br />
• New diagnostics (IXTS, Dante, proton radiography…) in addition to<br />
standard diagnostics (x-ray radiography)<br />
