Abstrakt: An octahedral spherical hohlraum is a promising candidate in target design for inertial confinement fusion study, because of its potential superiority in uniform radiation and efficient coupling [Lan et al., Phys. Plasmas 21, 010704 (2014)]. Before the experimental investigation for octahedral spherical hohlraum, an energetics experiment is accomplished on the Shenguang-III prototype laser facility by using spherical hohlraums with two cylindrical laser entrance holes. Time evolution of the radiation temperature is obtained with flat response X-ray diode detectors at four different viewing angles with demonstrated repeatability of the measurements. The experimental observations are successfully explained by using a phenomenological model which considers not only the radiation flux contributed from the laser ablated and radiation ablated plasma from hohlraum wall, but also that contributed from the filling plasma inside the hohlraum. This method proves to be a simple but effective way to interpret the time-dependent behaviour of the radiation temperatures at different viewing angles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
