Previous methane-filled hohlraum experiments (N. D. Delamater et al., Phys. Plasmas), 3, 2022, 1996 indicate that with unsmoothed laser beams a significant outward symmetry shift occurs early in time. Kineform phase plates (KPP) have been applied to all ten Nova beams to determine if the resulting smooth beams reduce and/or eliminate this shift. We will report on a recent series of experiments designed to study the early time-dependent symmetry in methane-filled hohlraums with smooth beams on the Nova laser system. The measurement technique was the reemission ball. (N. D. Delamater et al., Phys. Rev. E) 53, 1, 1996 This method replaces the capsule with a bismuth ball. By imaging the x-ray emission from the ball, radiation asymmetry can be inferred. A Legendre analysis of the data will be presented as well as comparisons with calculations.
