TUPC066 | Temporal Spot Size Evolution of the DARHT First Axis Radiographic Source | 1206 |
|
||
DARHT is the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test Facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The radiographic spot size is a critical parameter in the performance of the facility to produce quality radiographs. Time resolved images of the radiographic spot of the First Axis of the DARHT facility have been acquired and correlated with the radiation pulse. Analysis of these time resolved images illustrates the effect of beam target interaction on the temporal evolution of the spot size. An explanation of the experimental setup and analysis of the data will be presented. |
