The NIF: an International High Energy Density and Inertial Fusion User Facility

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The NIF, the world’s most energetic laser has been operational since 2009, and is now transitioning to an international user facility for high-energy-density and inertial fusion research. This paper summarizes NIF’s experimental capabilities and results.
