Dispersion calibration for the National Ignition Facility electron–positron–proton spectrometers for intense laser matter interactions

Development of nuclear diagnostics for the National Ignition Facility „invited..

The National Ignition Facility NIF will provide up to 1.8 MJ of laser energy for imploding inertial confinement fusion ICF targets. Ignited NIF targets are expected to produce up to 1019 DT neutrons. This will provide unprecedented opportunities and challenges for the use of nuclear diagnostics in ICF experiments. In 2005, the suite of nuclear-ignition diagnostics for the NIF was defined and th...

The National Ignition Facility: Status and Plans for Laser Fusion and High-energy-density Experimental Studies

The National Ignition Facility (NIF) currently under construction at the University of California Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is a 192-beam, 1.8-megajoule, 500-terawatt, 351-nm laser for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and high-energy-density experimental studies. NIF is being built by the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA) to provide an exp...

Direct-Drive Target Designs for the National Ignition Facility

LLE Review, Volume 79 121 The National Ignition Facility (NIF) is currently under construction at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). One of the primary missions of the NIF is to achieve fusion ignition by means of inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Two main approaches have been considered for achieving thermonuclear yield in ICF. The first approach, known as indirectdrive ICF,1 encl...
