Scientific paper

The ICF research in plasma physics, hydrodynamic instabilities, and laser interaction with matter has progressed to the level that there is high confidence in reaching ignition of D-T fuel with the National Ignition Facility (NIF). As a result of the recent openness in ICF research, substantial information on the status of current experiments has been examined and a clear path of further research has been developed^1. This will be accomplished using the Nova laser as the NIF moves toward the construction phase. Details of current experiments and target design projections for the NIF will be discussed^2. Information on the status of the NIF Project is currently being updated on the Internet to keep interested colleagues informed of the progress. The education outreach programs and graduate research opportunities already underway at LLNL are being evaluated with the Nova laser in order to develop a model for a new education project for the NIF. Work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract W-7405-ENG-48. This abstract has been reviewed and released by the Patents and Classification offices of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. 1. R. R. Johnson, Optics & Photonics News 6, 16-23 (1995) 2.
