X-ray and radioactive measurements in ICF research at ILE Osaka (invited).

The experimental basis and instrumentation for the Gekko XII laser fusion program developed at the Institute of Laser Engineering (ILE), Osaka University are presented. Many diagnostics are in use to evaluate the key parameters of target implosion in an extremely dense, short period region. In this paper, we describe the present status and future planning of these diagnostics, such as xray, radioactive, and reaction particle measurement, because of their importance for fuel ρR determination.
