LMJ-PETAL OVERVIEW

a set of visualization stations for target positioning (SOPAC stations, as System for Optical Positioning and Alignment inside Chamber),
a set of about ten diagnostics manipulators, called Systems for Insertion of Diagnostic (SID), will be installed, they will position 150-kg diagnostic with a 50-µm precision.
The PETAL project consists in the addition of one short-pulse (500 fs to 10 ps) ultra-high-power, high-energy beam (few kJ) to LMJ. PETAL offers a combination of a very high intensity multi-petawatt beam, synchronized with the nanosecond beams of LMJ. PETAL expands the LMJ experimental field on HEDP.
The PETAL design is based on the Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) technique combined with Optical Parametric Amplification (OPA). Furthermore, it takes the benefits of the laser developments made for the high-energy LMJ facility allowing it to reach the kilojoule level.
Over 30 photon and particle diagnostics are considered with high spatial, temporal and spectral resolution in the optical, X-ray, and nuclear domains. Beside classical diagnostics, specific diagnostics adapted to PETAL capacities are available in order to characterize particles and radiation yields that can be created by PETAL [42, 43]. The set of equipment, delivered in 2016 and 2017, has been specified by the academic community in the framework of the PETAL+ project* and is developed by the CEA. It consists of: one spectrometer for charged particles (SEPAGE), two electron spectrometers (SESAME), one hard X-ray spectrometer (SPECTIX) and three diagnostics manipulators (SID).
The first CEA-DAM physics experiments on LMJ have been performed in October 2014 with a limited number of beams and diagnostics. The operational capabilities (number of beams and plasma diagnostics) will increase gradually during the following years. The first academic experiments on LMJ-PETAL are performed in 2017-2018 with 16 beams (4 quads) and PETAL beam, 3 SID and 12 diagnostics. The next ones will be performed in 2019-2020 with 56 beams (14 quads) and PETAL beam, 4 SID and 18 diagnostics.

III.2‐ OfficeSpaceatILPCampusandComputerAccessTo provide comfortable working conditions to worldwide researchers preparing their experiments, the
“Institut Lasers & Plasmas” (ILP) and CEA-CESTA offer a large office space, Internet access and administrative assistance inside the ILP Campus Building. This building is located just outside CEA-CESTA. Meeting rooms are available as well as a 150 places amphitheater which could be used for workshops. The ILP building is located 2 km away from LMJ Control Room. A cafeteria for lunch is also accessible at walking distance, as well as supermarket, restaurants and food services located in Le Barp city, 3 km away.
III.3‐ CEA‐CESTAAccessandRegulationsCEA-CESTA is a national security laboratory with regulated entry. Visitors must make prior
arrangements at least 8 weeks before any visit. The experimental campaigns on LMJ-PETAL will be planned at least 6 months in advance, and the access to CEA-CESTA could be extended up to a 3 months period. In order to gain admittance, the requested information is the following:
Last name, first name, place of birth, nationality (dual nationality if any), nationality of birth, passport number and date of validity (CNI number and validity for French citizen), home address, name and address of employer, research institution, funding agency, professional phone number, professional email, contact in case of emergency.
Please notice that access to LMJ-PETAL is of CEA responsibility only. Acceptance of an experimental proposal by ILP doesn’t automatically grant access to CEA for all of the collaborators. According to confidentiality rules, no justifications would be given in case of denied access to the facility.
Professional computers may be authorized on-site provided that the MAC address and physical address of the computer were given with the aforementioned personal information. Internet connectivity will be provided in a dedicated room; however no Wi-Fi capabilities are available inside CEA-CESTA.
All types of cellular telephones are forbidden. This restriction also applies for CEA people inside restricted areas, like the LMJ-PETAL building. The cell phones should be kept secured in a cell phones garage at the badging center entry.
III.4‐ ConfidentialityRulesThe CEA-DAM would be pleased to promote a wide participation of the academic communities to the
scientific and technologic researches which will be performed on the LMJ-PETAL facility. However, as an organism which is in charge for the control of scientific disciplines involved in nuclear deterrence, the CEA-DAM has to follow the protection rules regarding National Defense.
As a consequence, some information and data obtained from laser experiments have to be protected according to the “Guide on the sensitiveness of information in the field of Inertial Confinement Fusion”†.

This report will include:
1. The experimental configuration at the target chamber center, including realistic target dimensions and position of additional targets (backlighter if any).
2. The laser configuration
2.1. For LMJ beams:
- The desired spot sizes (see Table V.2) and optical smoothing conditions (2 GHz or 2 + 14 GHz);
- The laser pulse shape per quad (P (TW) as a function of time) and Energy (kJ) per quad (the Energy-Power diagram is presented in Figure V.9);
- The laser aim points per quad.
2.2. For PETAL beam:
- Pulse duration (between 0.5 and 10 ps);
- Energy (the current transport mirrors limited the available energy on target at 1 kJ for the 2017-2018 timeframe). For 2019, more energy could be expected;
- Best focus position.
3. The diagnostic configuration
The primary and secondary diagnostics for the physics goal must be specified.
Concerning diagnostics in SID: 4 SID are available in the 2019. The Table VII.1. indicates the available locations.
The fixed diagnostics, if needed, are: DMX in MS8, SESAME 1 and SESAME 2, UPXI, LPXI, FABS, NBI, Neutron Pack (see VIII- LMJ Diagnostics).
4. The target description
Sketch of the targets, including their dimensions, and the manufacturer of the targets must be provided. The CEA/CESTA Target Laboratory is in charge of the alignment of the targets at target center chamber (TCC).
5. The preliminary nuclear safety analysis
In order to later fulfill the CEA LMJ nuclear safety rules, the following information are required:
- A rough estimate of the X-ray and/or electrons and/or ions emitted spectra, with their angular distribution;
- The list of all the constitutive target materials with estimated mass.
6. Preparation requirements
The list of the experimental capabilities which need to be commissioned prior to the physics experiment is requested: specific ns shaped pulse, PW laser contrast, characterization of specific hard X-ray or proton backlighting sources, etc.
7. Shots logic and draft failure modes
The order of the shots (6 shots per campaign at maximum) is required, as well as the logic of the shots and the main possible failure modes (and backup plan).
Final selection of the most pertinent experiments is done by the ISAC-P in accordance with CEA-DAM.
III.6‐ ExperimentalProcessOnce the experiments have been selected, the experimental campaigns are included in the schedule of
the facility by the CEA-DAM Programming Committee. The selected groups are informed of this planning approximately 2 years in advance of the experimental campaign. At the same time, Experiment Managers from CEA (MOE, see III.7) are designated in order to prepare the experiment in close collaboration with the selected groups.
The key milestones in the PETAL-LMJ experimental process will include several reviews in order to evaluate the experimental preparations and readiness.
POLICIES AND ACCESS
CEA/DAM ♦ LMJ-PETAL User Guide ♦ 8
The Launch Review is conducted approximately 24 months in advance of the experimental campaign. The selected group, assisted by the MOE, presents the experiment proposal in front of CEA-DAM experts. The primary purpose of this review is to ensure the proposed experiment meet the LMJ-PETAL requirements and to identify additional studies. CEA-DAM will analyze the proposals in terms of confidentiality rules, security rules and feasibility. At this point CEA-DAM could ask the research group to amend their proposal if it does not match the rules or if a feasibility matter is identified.
Following the Launch Review, the selected groups will prepare a detailed report to be sent to CEA-DAM ([email protected]) approximately 18 months in advance of the experimental campaign. This report will complete the full proposal with feasibility studies, simulation results (including X-ray and particles emissions), detailed target description, etc.
A Follow-up Review occurs approximately 6 months later. The selected group exposes the advances of the experimental preparations and results of identified extra studies. This review is based on the abovementioned detailed report. Depending on the progresses made, other Follow-up Reviews may be scheduled.
The Design Review is conducted approximately 12 months in advance of the experimental campaign. In addition to the previous specified data’s (laser and diagnostic configurations, target description, shots logic …). This review provides all information required by the facility: consideration of target debris, nuclear safety analysis, diagnostics predictions, etc. This Review also updates the agenda of deliveries (e.g. targets).
The Readiness Review occurs approximately 1 month prior to the date of the experiment. It is the final check to ensure that all preparations for execution of the experiment are complete.
III.7‐ ResponsibilitiesduringShotCycleSeveral people will be in charge of the management of the experiment, each of them having a specific
responsibility.
The Principal Investigator (PI) is in charge of the scientific design of the experiment; he may be assisted by a co-PI from ILP (for ICF studies for instance).
The practical design of the experimental project, taking into account the facility capabilities and the expected results (laser energy, pulse shape, laser beams, diagnostics, alignment, debris from target, etc.) comes under the responsibility of the CEA Experiment Manager (MOE); he will work in close collaboration with the PI.
The making of the experimental campaign is under the responsibility of the CEA Experiment Coordinator (RCE); he is in charge of the target and laser bay functioning and performance taking into account all inherent risks for the operation crew and material.
The laser shots during the campaign are under the responsibility of the LMJ Shot Director who is responsible for the LMJ safety.
The PI will not be in direct contact with the LMJ Shot Director. Decisions related to the effective performance of the experimental campaign are taken according to the PI’s wishes; however communications with the Facility and LMJ Shot Director are the sole responsibility of the MOE and RCE.
III.8‐ AccesstoLMJ‐PETALduringShotsAccess to the LMJ-PETAL facility requires half-day training to LMJ security rules and general
information. This course is usually given on Monday.
To ensure personnel and equipment safety, it is mandatory that the LMJ Control Room remains a quiet area during shot operations. Shot preparation is a long process and will take a few hours which include some phases not relevant for physicists. A dedicated meeting room will be available close to the LMJ Control Room for the PI for the final shot phase when his presence is necessary.
To limit administrative duties and escort procedures, the number of external users allowed to follow one shot is limited to 4 people maximum, typically the PI, co-PI (if any), one PhD student and diagnostics expert (for PETAL+ diagnostics for instance). Those people could rotate during the week or the experimental campaign (providing the access procedures have been followed).

III.9‐ DataAccessThe laser pulse shapes and raw laser energy are immediately observable after the shot, like X-ray
images acquired on X-ray framing camera or streaked camera when they are directly recorded on electronic devices (CCD). The consolidated laser energy will be communicated at the end of the experimental campaign because it requires evaluation of the vacuum window transmission which could have been modified by laser-induced damages. For data requiring digitizing or scan (like Image Plate) the data release will not be possible immediately after the shot, but a few hours later. It is also the case for data depending on material handling inside target bay area, which is regulated by safety procedures for contamination control and radiation monitoring.
Raw experimental data and/or data translated into physics units will be accessible to the PI and his experimental team as soon as possible after the shot. The data release is of CEA responsibility. The release of detailed response functions of some diagnostics, like for example the detailed response functions of DMX-LMJ channels, may be considered as classified information. This is why only consolidated data in physics units will be delivered to the PI in such a case. By any way the CEA Experiment Manager will ensure that all essential physics data are delivered to the PI. He is responsible for the quality of the experimental data.
Data support will be either USB keys for the data directly available after the shot or CD-ROM for consolidated and scanned data. The baseline data format of LMJ data is a custom hdf5. CEA will provide hdf5 structure description and if necessary basic tools to extract the information.
III.10‐ PublicationsandAuthorshipPracticesResults of LMJ-PETAL experiments are expected to be published in major journals and presented in
scientific conferences. The PI should inform CEA-DAM of any publication a few weeks before any major conference (APS DPP, IFSA, EPS, ECLIM, ICHED, HEDLA, HTPD, etc.) using the email address [email protected]. It is of PI responsibility to judge who made a significant contribution (or only a minor) to the research study. However CEA Experiment Manager (MOE) and CEA Experiment Coordinator (RCE), as well as CEA Diagnostics leaders, should be co-authors of the first publications of the campaign they have been involved in. A statement acknowledging the use of LMJ-PETAL should be included in all publications. The sources of financial support for the project (ANR, ILP, ERC, etc.) should also be disclosed.

III.11‐ CallsforProposalsHistoryThe first call for proposals was launched in July 2014: 16 proposals have been received. In November
2014 the ISAC-P has preselected 7 proposals, and in May 2015, after the selected groups have provided their full proposals, the ISAC-P has selected 4 proposals which have been approved by CEA-DAM and included in the schedule of the facility. They are dedicated to astrophysics phenomena and ICF studies. The first shots are planned in 2017.
The second call for proposals is launched on April 7th, 2016, for shots planned in 2019-2020. The Letters Of Intent must arrive before June 30th, 2016. The ISAC-P pre-selection will be organized at the end of September 2016. The full proposition will then be send in December 2016 for a final selection in February 2017.

In the amplification section, the beams are grouped in bundle of 8 beams and they are amplified 30 000 times to reach energy of 15-18 kJ per beam. The amplification section includes two 4-pass amplifiers, two spatial filters, a plasma electrode pockels cell, a polarizer and a deformable mirror for wavefront correction.
Figure V.4: Mounting of 4 laser slabs, plasma electrode pockels cell and deformable mirror
In the switchyards, each individual bundle is divided into two quads of 4 beams, which are directed to the upper and lower hemispheres of the chamber by the mean of 5, 6 or 7 transport mirrors. The quad is the basic independent unit for experiments.
The LMJ target chamber is arranged with a vertical axis. LMJ is configured to operate usually in the “indirect drive” scheme [41], which directs the laser beams into cones in the upper and lower hemispheres of the target chamber. Forty quads enter the target chamber through ports that are located on two cones at 33.2°

V.2‐ LMJFrequencyConversionandFocusingSchemeThe optics assembly for frequency conversion and focusing is composed of a 1ω grating, two KDP
and DKDP crystals for Second and Third Harmonic Generation, and a 3ω focusing grating. The 1ω grating deflects by an angle of 50° the incoming 1ω beam. An angular dispersion of the spectrum is introduced by the grating which allows broadband frequency tripling. The frequency converters use a Type I-Type II third harmonic generation scheme. The 3ω grating deflects back the 3ω beam by an angle of 50°, while the unconverted light is stopped by absorbers. As a consequence no volume restrictions and additional shielding for unconverted light issues have to be taken into account in the making of the experiments.
Figure V.7: LMJ frequency conversion and focusing by gratings
The pointing accuracy of LMJ quadruplets depends on the aim point. Two pointing volumes have been defined. The finest accuracy (50 µm rms) is achieved inside a 30 mm diameter x 30 mm high orthocylinder (see Figure V.8). Outside this first cylinder the pointing volume can be described by two other imbricated cylinders with a 75 to 100 µm pointing accuracy. These capabilities have to be considered for the positioning of X-ray backlighters for instance.

VIII‐ LMJDiagnosticsOver 30 diagnostics are considered on LMJ with high spatial, temporal and spectral resolution in the
optical, X-ray, and nuclear domains. Development plan for LMJ diagnostics began with LIL laser facility and rely on decades of expertise in the design, fabrication and commissioning of advanced plasma diagnostics. The OMEGA laser facility has also been used and will continue to be the test bed for the development of CEA nuclear diagnostics. The early diagnostics, designed using the feedback of LIL’s diagnostics, consist of:
• seven hard and soft X-ray imaging systems (30 eV to 15 keV range) with a 15 to 150 μm spatial resolution and a 30 to 120 ps time resolution, providing over 40 imaging channels,
• a diagnostic set for hohlraum temperature measurements including an absolutely calibrated broadband X-ray spectrometer (30 eV - 20 keV), a grating spectrometer, a time resolved imaging system of the emitting area,
• an absolutely calibrated broadband X-ray spectrometer (30 eV - 7 keV),
• a time resolved high resolution X-ray spectrometer (1 - 15 keV) coupled to a framing camera,
• a time integrated hard X-ray spectrometer (6 - 100 keV),
• an optical diagnostic set dedicated to EOS measurements including 2 VISAR (Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector), 2 SBO (Shock Break Out), a pyrometer and a reflectivity measurement,
• a Full Aperture Backscatter System, and a Near Backscatter Imager to measure the power, spectrum, and angular distribution of backscattered light to determine the laser energy balance,
• two electron spectrometers (5 - 150 MeV),
• a charged particles spectrometer for electrons (0.1 - 150 MeV) and ions (0.1 - 200 MeV) including an imaging module for proton radiography,
• a neutron pack, to measure neutron yield, ion temperature and neutron bang time.
Companion Table-top laser facilities [57] or X-ray sources [58] are used to perform metrology of the X-ray diagnostics before any plasma experiment.
Diagnostics development takes into account the harsh environment [28, 59] which will be encountered on LMJ, as well as the electromagnetic perturbations induced by PETAL [60].
VIII.1‐ X‐rayImagersThe development of grazing-incidence X-ray microscopes is one of the skills of CEA diagnostics
development laboratory. On LMJ, debris [61] and X-ray production [28] impose to place any imager as far away from the source as possible, which would degrade the spatial resolution. Grazing incidence X-ray microscopes allow overpassing this limitation. Compared to standard pinhole imagers, they offer also the best solution in terms of resolution versus signal to noise ratio. The design of LMJ X-ray imagers benefits from years of expertise either on OMEGA [62] or LIL X-ray imagers [63, 64].
Four of these imagers, either gated (GXI-1 and GXI-2) or streaked (SHXI and SSXI), share a common mechanical structure (see Figure VIII.1) with the X-ray optical assembly itself, a telescopic extension and the optical analyzer (X-ray framing camera or streak camera) working inside an air box mechanical structure (see Figure VIII.2) [65].
Two others (UPXI and LPXI) are dedicated to the observation of the LEHs from the upper and lower poles of the chamber. A last one (ERHXI) offers an enhanced spatial resolution with the help of channels including two toroidal mirrors.
The main characteristics of the first seven X-ray Imagers are described in Table VIII.1.

Table VIII.3: LMJ Optical diagnostics acronyms and their main characteristics
VIII.3.1‐EOSPack
The development of the EOS Pack takes into account the feedback of the same kind of diagnostic that was in operation on the LIL facility [77]. This diagnostic combines an optical system, positioned close to the target with the help of a SID, an optical transport system and an analysis table.
The use of the EOS Pack requests the S20 location for the insertion of the optical system inside the chamber and the S7 location for laser injection, laser and self-emission collection.
The diagnostic (laser and optical analyzers) will be hardened and protected against EMP inside a Faraday cage. The goal is to be fully operational with PETAL so that simultaneous EOS measurements and side-on shock radiography may be possible.
The different acquisition channels are listed in the Table VIII.3: two VISAR at 532 nm and/or 1064 nm, two SBO/Pyrometer in the 490-750 nm range combined with 2 two-dimensional Gated Optical Imager (GOI).

VIII.5‐ DiagnosticsinConceptualDesignPhaseBeside the eighteen diagnostics described in the previous sections, eight other diagnostics have been
identified for the next years and are under design.
The future LMJ diagnostics in conceptual design phase include:
two spatially resolved spectrometers (soft and hard X-ray);
a gated soft X-ray imager;
a broad band spectrometer (second miniDMX);
a second FABS on Q29U;
two high resolution hard X-ray imagers;
a Thomson scattering diagnostic.
FIRST EXPERIMENTAL CONFIGURATION
CEA/DAM ♦ LMJ-PETAL User Guide ♦ 46
IX‐ ExperimentalConfigurationfor2019
IX.1‐ LaserBeamsCharacteristicsAt the beginning of 2019, the experimental configuration of the LMJ facility will include 7 bundles
(14 quads) and the PETAL beam. The spherical coordinate of these beams and the angles between the quads and PETAL are given in Table X.1.
Beam Port Angle vs. PETAL
5U 49° 135° 130.1°
5L 146.8° 135° 117.8°
10U 49° 207° 125.0°

29L 146.8° 63° 82.7°
PETAL 90° 346.5°
Table IX.1: Angle of the LMJ quads and PETAL beam in 2019
The CPP Type A (see section V.4) will be available for all quads, the CPP Type D will be available for 4 quads, and the CPP Type E and F will be available for 2 quads.
Concerning the Smoothing by Spectral Dispersion, the 2 GHz modulation will be activated for all shots, and the 14 GHZ modulation will be activated if required.
IX.2‐ TargetBayEquipmentAbout 10 SIDs are envisioned for LMJ but at the beginning of 2019, only 4 of them will be available:
1 LMJ SID and 3 PETAL SIDs.
According to the first LMJ-PETAL configuration, the ILP has chosen in 2012 the preferred SID locations for the PETAL diagnostics. As a consequence and for sake of minimizing the number of Facility reconfiguration, the operational positions available in the 2019-2020 timeframe will be:
S12, S16, S20, S22, S26 in the equatorial plane for the 3 PETAL SIDs,
S17 close to the polar axis for LMJ SID.
The proposed experimental configurations should take these constraints into account.
The available LMJ diagnostics at the beginning of 2019 will be: GXI-1, GXI-2, SHXI, SSXI, UPXI, ULXI, ERHXI, DMX, Mini-DMX, HRXS, SPECTIX, EOS Pack, FABS, NBI, Neutron Pack, SEPAGE, SESAME 1&2.
