Plastic ablator ignition capsule design for the National Ignition Facility
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe simulations and design optimization to develop the plastic ablator capsule design as a candidate for the first ignition attempt on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) [G. H. Miller, E. I. Moses, and C. R. Wuest].

Demonstration of Enhanced Radiation Drive in Hohlraums Made from a Mixture of High-Z Wall Materials
Jochen Schein,Ogden Jones,Mordecai D. Rosen,Eduard Dewald,Siegfried Glenzer,J. Gunther,Bruce Hammel,Otto Landen,L. J. Suter,R. J. Wallace +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results from experiments, numerical simulations and analytic modeling, demonstrating enhanced hohlraum performance with high-Z mixtures (cocktails) and demonstrate that a National Ignition Facility ignition hohlrahum made of a U:Au:Dy cocktail should have a 17% reduction in wall losses compared to a similar gold hohlrasum.
