Abstract

Nike is a multikilojoule KrF laser system located at the Naval Research Laboratory. Nike produces high-intensity uniform illumination on flat targets for experiments relating to direct-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF). In particular we intend to study the Rayleigh-Taylor hydrodynamic instability associated with target acceleration and to develop methods to reduce the deleterious effects this instability.
