This study uses 2D simulations from xRAGE [3] to analyze the potential impact of inner shell plug parameters on double shell implosion performance. In our study, we seek to understand how plug geometry impacts yield, how the impact of the plug would compare to that of a fill tube, how the geometry and materials affect its impact on the implosion, and whether it is possible to mitigate this impact.
