Scientific paper

An experimental campaign on the Nova laser was started in July 1993 to study one set of target conditions for the point design of the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The targets were specified to investigate the current NIF target conditions--a plasma of approximately 3 keV electron temperature and an electron density of approximately 1.0 E + 21 cm(exp -3). A gas cell target design was chosen to confine as gas of approximately 0.01 cm(exp 3) in volume at approximately 1 atmosphere. This paper will describe the major steps and processes necessary in the fabrication, testing and delivery of these targets for shots on the Nova Laser at LLNL.
