Covering a cylinder with a magnetic coil triples its energy output during a nuclear fusion test
(a) Sketch of the magnetized NIF hohlraum constructed from AuTa4 with solenoid coil to carry current. (b) X-ray entrainment measured through one of the LEHs and incident laser powers for magnetized and unmagnetized AuTa4 hohlraum and two unmagnetized Au hohlraums. “BF” refers to “BigFoot”, the name of the previous ignition design.
