Arijit Bose is a postdoctoral associate in the high-energy-density physics group at the Plasma Science and Fusion Center, MIT. His research interest includes magneto-hydrodynamics, nuclear fusion, and laser-produced plasmas. Arijit got his PhD degree from the Department of Physics at the University of Rochester. His thesis work, titled “Direct Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion: Analysis of the Implosion Core”, was performed with Professor Riccardo Betti at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics.
Dr. Arijit Bose conducts research on magneto-hydrodynamics and inertial confinement fusion, with a focus on the hydrodynamic instabilities. Arijit's research involves theoretical and computational study of the deceleration-phase Rayleigh Taylor instability and the scaling of experimental results to larger and more energetic laser systems.
Direct laser-driven fusion uses multiple laser beams to symmetrically illuminate a frozen deuterium-tritium shell. The motive is to produce a hot confined central plasma--the core--which would initiate fusion reactions and lead to self-heating by alpha particle energy deposition. The OMEGA laser, at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, produces ~25-30 kJ of on-target energy, approximately 1.4% of the energy available on the National Ignition Facility (NIF). Currently, the NIF is not configured to perform symmetric illumination while the 60 beam OMEGA routinely irradiates targets symmetrically. To help motivate NIF to explore direct drive targets in a future symmetric illumination configuration, Arijit developed a technique to scale the OMEGA experimental results to NIF energies. This scaling technique provides a valuable and cost-effective tool for extrapolating the implosions on smaller laser systems to multi mega-joule laser facilities like the NIF. Using theoretical and numerical analysis, Arijit showed that the experiments at the OMEGA [Regan et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 117,025001 (2016)] when hydrodynamically scaled to 1.9 MJ would produce several times the fusion energy output than that achieved with the highest performing indirectly driven targets at NIF [Hurricane et al, Nature 506, 343–348 (2014)]. The results were published in the Physical Review journal [Bose et al., Phys. Rev. E 94, 011201(R) (2016)].
