Identification of stimulated Raman side scattering in near-spherical coronal plasmas on OMEGA EP
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recent spherical-target laser–plasma interaction experiments, performed on the OMEGA EP laser, have been analyzed for stimulated Raman scattering (SRS). This has been motivated by results obtained on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) that have demonstrated the importance of SRS, and in particular SRS side scatter, for directly driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF) conditions [Rosenberg et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 055001 (2018); Michel et al. Phys. Rev. E 99, 033203 (2019)]. The analysis, based on a generalized ray tracing approach, is described and is shown to explain the observed scattered light spectra: it identifies SRS convective scattering, from portions of each incident beam where the scattered electromagnetic wave is generated in the direction parallel to contours of constant density, as the dominant contribution. This result is novel, as SRS is mostly associated with plasmas of higher electron temperature (Te≳3−4 keV) and longer density scale length (≳600 μm) than those considered here (Te∼1−3 keV, Ln∼150 μm) for the relevant overlapped irradiation intensities I≲1015 W/cm2. A combination of the high single-beam intensity on OMEGA EP and the side-scattering geometry, that has been identified, is responsible for this result. It is further suggested that the OMEGA EP platform could provide a good surrogate in which to develop SRS mitigation strategies.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
