I am interested in Laser Induced Fusion, and quark modeling of the proton using hyperspherical coordinates in a three quark model, using a linear flux tube potential between the quarks. I study the rate of growth of hydrodynamic instabilities associated with a more dense layer over a less dense layer. These Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities are the prime reason for implosions of target capsules to fail.
Ideal capsules have surfaces that are smooth concentric spheres.
Real polished capsule surfaces still have a surface rms. How this rms is subdivided into various modes is under current study. The geometry, and composition of the capsule that provides the best nuclear energy yield, for a given radiative drive, is an area under current investigation. The proton and its excited Roper resonance have been studied using the three body Dirac equation with hyperspherical coordinates. The radial density distribution can be determined from the composite three quark wave functions.
