Lasnex simulated neutron production rates of MagLIF driven by 17.5 MA

Slutz, Stephen A.

Time resolved neutron detection will provide important information of MagLIF implosions. To aid the design of such detectors Lasnex has been used to simulate the neutron production rates for two MagLIF configurations. The results are shown in Fig 1 a) B=15 T, preheat=1.1 kJ, D2 density=1.05 mg/cc and b) B=10 T, preheat=0.8 kJ, D2 density=0.7 mg/cc.
