title: X-ray bang-time measurements at the National Ignition Facility using a diamond detector.
abstract: A chemical vapor deposition polycrystalline photoconductive diamond detector was fielded at NIF to measure the time of peak x-ray emission, or x-ray bang time, of inertial confinement fusion implosions. Imaging the capsule with a pinhole provides contrast against Hohlraum emission, allowing clear identification of the capsule component in the raw scope trace. X-ray bang time was measured to within ±41-46 ps with the internal photoconductive diamond detector.
