Sensitivity of yield and compression to velocity, shock timing, coast time and asymmetry in indirect-drive NIF implosions**

The yield and fuel compression sensitivity to various drive parameters for the >100 NIF indirect-drive cryogenic DT implosions performed to date is empirically examined across all scales, ablators and in-flight adiabats. Low mix yields normalized by fuel mass increase with velocity, and increase with fuel compression after normalizing out velocity, but only up to a point.  Compression remains sensitive to shock merge depths and coast times [1] even at higher adiabats.  Mass and velocity normalized yields and compressions drop by factors 1.5-3x in the presence of measured large mode 1 and 2 asymmetries.  The trends will be compared to analytic expressions [2,3] and the hypotheses for some notable outliers will be discussed.
