Notes:
Gamma-ray measurements from fast burning deuterium/tritium capsules used in the laser based fusion program inherently carry more high bandwidth information than neutron measurements because they are not subject to Doppler induced time-of-flight broadening. GaAs photoconducting detectors are used to record both the gamma-ray and neutron pulses temporally separated by the time-of-flight difference. The technique has been successfully demonstrated to produce gamma-ray burn history measurements for capsules yielding more than 1012 neutrons.
