The temperature-density profiles of imploded cryogenic D2 capsules are inferred for a low-adiabat (α∼6) drive using a Monte Carlo technique described earlier [V. A. Smalyuk et al., Phys. Plasmas 12, 052706 (2005)]. The analysis has been improved by incorporating differential x-ray imaging using narrowband channels at ∼4.5 and ∼6.5keV. The inferred compression is significantly higher with the low-adiabat drive than with reported previously high-adiabat (α∼25) drive.
