NIF Target Fabrication

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The NIF requires complex and precise targets to perform its mission. The most complicated of these are the indirect-drive cryogenic ignition targets. At the center of these targets is a ~2 mm diameter capsule that is filled with hydrogen fuel—in most cases, a solid layer of a 50:50 equimolar mixture of deuterium and tritium in equilibrium with its vapor at 1.3–1.5 Kelvin below the triple point at shot time. The capsule and the fuel are concentric and centered inside a high-Z hohlraum. An example of an ignition target is displayed in Figure 1.
