Zeroing In on New Targets

摘要

When the National Ignition Facility (NIF) is completed and its 192 lasers are ready to fire, the force of the world's most powerful laser facility will likely be aiming at a very small and precisely fabricated target. Physicists preparing high-energy-density experiments intended for NIF are turning to Livermore engineers to help design, fabricate, and characterize super-tiny targets with minute tolerances.
