The National Ignition Facility for inertial confinement fusion

摘要

The National Ignition Facility for inertial confinement fusion will contain a 1.8 MJ, 500 TW frequency-tripled Ne glass laser system that will be used to explore fusion ignition and other problems in the physics of high temperature and density. We describe the facility briefly. The NIF is scheduled to be completed in 2003.
