The Overview of the National Ignition Facility Distributed Computer Control System
The Integrated Computer Control System (ICCS) for the National Ignition Facility (NIF) is a layered architecture of 300 front-end processors (FEP) coordinated by supervisor subsystems including automatic beam alignment and wavefront control, laser and target diagnostics, pulse power, and shot control timed to 30 ps. FEP computers incorporate either VxWorks on PowerPC or Solaris on UltraSPARC pr...
متن کاملRecent Progress in Ignition Fusion Research on the National Ignition Facility∗)
This paper will review the ignition fusion research program that is currently being carried out on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. This work is being conducted under the auspices of the National Ignition Campaign (NIC) that is a broad collaboration of national laboratories and universities that together have developed a detailed research p...
متن کاملHot electron measurements in ignition relevant Hohlraums on the National Ignition Facility.
On the National Ignition Facility (NIF), hot electrons generated in laser heated Hohlraums are inferred from the >20 keV bremsstrahlung emission measured with the time integrated FFLEX broadband spectrometer. New high energy (>200 keV) time resolved channels were added to infer the generated >170 keV hot electrons that can cause ignition capsule preheat. First hot electron measurements in near ...
متن کاملPolar Direct Drive on the National Ignition Facility
212 LLE Review, Volume 96 Introduction Recent advances in direct-drive target design have enhanced target performance beyond that achieved in the original baseline ignition design.1 This substantially increases the probability of achieving moderate to high direct-drive target gain on the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The baseline direct-drive design for the NIF is itself very attractive. It...
متن کاملIntegrated Operations of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) Optical Pulse Generation Development System
We describe the Optical Pulse Generation (OPG) testbed, which is the integration of the MOR and Preamplifier Development Laboratories. We use this OPG testbed to develop and demonstrate the overall capabilites of the NIF laser system front end. We will present the measured energy and power output, temporal and spatial pulse shaping capability, FM bandwidth and dispersion for beam smoothing, and...
