As a major branch in the world-wide effort in fusion energy research, Inertial Confinement Fusion in indirect drive has recently made significant progress toward achieving ignition. One key to the improved control of the capsule implosion process is the refined understanding and diagnostic treatment of various interacting instability modes that are still limiting symmetry control and thus peak compression.
In order to further improve the data-analysis, e.g. from neutron spectra or various imaging techniques, a continuous effort is underway to quantify the signatures of dominant failure modes in simulated implosions in order to determine their relative importance in experimental data. Some of the recent activity and progress in this area is to be presented in the form of post-processing tools characterising these modelled diagnostics. Possible implications for the inference of plasma temperature and motion will be outlined by considering relations between 0D neutron spectra of multiple sources and full 3D data.
