The National Ignition Facility (NIF) technology is designed to drive deuterium–tritium (DT) internal confinement fusion (ICF) targets to ignition using indirect radiation from laser beam energy captured in a hohlraum. Hydrodynamical instabilities at interfaces in the ICF capsule leading to mix between the DT fuel and the ablator shell material are of fundamental physical interest and can affect the performance characteristics of the capsule. Here we describe new radiochemical diagnostics for mix processes in ICF capsules with plastic or Be (0.9% Cu ) ablator shells. Reactions of high-energy tritons with shell material produce high-energy β-emitters. We show that mix between the DT fuel and the shell material enhances high-energy prompt beta emission from these reactions by more than an order of magnitude over that expected in the absence of mix. We further show how a mix signal could be detectable in an ignition failure regime corresponding to yields greater than about 2 kJ.
