Abstract

A multi-frame shadowgraphy diagnostic has been developed and applied to laser preheat experiments relevant to the Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) concept. The diagnostic views the plasma created by laser preheat in MagLIF-relevant gas cells immediately after the laser deposits energy as well as the resulting blast wave evolution later in time. The expansion of the blast wave is modeled with 1D radiation-hydrodynamic simulations that relate the boundary of the blast wave at a given time to the energy deposited into the fuel. This technique is applied to four different preheat protocols that have been used in integrated MagLIF experiments to infer the amount of energy deposited by the laser into the fuel. The results of the integrated MagLIF experiments are compared with those of two-dimensional LASNEX simulations. The best performing shots returned neutron yields ∼40–55% of the simulated predictions for three different preheat protocols.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
