Figure 8

(Color online) (a) Self-emission distributions of the core area including DD fuel and self-emission of ablator with the P2 drive asymmetry=2.5% as per calculations. The contour lines are extracted from the experimental results in Fig. 4(e). (b) Comparison of radial distributions of the number of photons extracted according to experimental and simulation results, namely Figs. 4(e) and 8(a) respectively. Black solid curve shows distribution along the long axis equator-a of the simulation results, red solid curve is the distribution along the short axis equator-b, and blue solid curve is the average distribution along different angles. The squares are experimental data from Fig. 4(e). Hollow squares are the radial distributions of different radii along up, down, left, and right orientations (R1 to R4). Blue solid squares are the average results of eight radii, including another four radii \(45\,^{\circ }\) relative to R1–R4. The center of all the radii is the point of maximum emission intensity.
