Fig. 5: The rad-hydro-predicted warm-/hot-dense plasma conditions during core flash of Cu-doped CH target implosions on OMEGA.

a The density (upper) and temperature (down) contour plots of dense plasma conditions at stagnation (t = 2.05 ns) from 2D DRACO radiation-hydrodynamic simulation. The inner and outer circles of dotted lines indicate the inner and outer boundary of the Cu-doped layer whose region is marked by the black arrow. b The time evolution of plasma ρ/T conditions as well as the population of Cu’s 2p state in the Cu-doping region (inferred by VERITAS) during the core flash, in which red symbols represent the situation at the inner interface and blue symbols are for the outer interface. The stagnation time (t = 2.05 ns) is marked by the vertical dashed line.
