Research activities:
The National Ignition Facility (NIF) Programs Directorate at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) enables key programs and technologies that support Department of Energy Defense Programs and LLNL missions. The ICF Program advances research and technology development in major interrelated areas that include fusion target theory and design, target fabrication, and target experiments. Central to the Directorate is a multi-beam laser facility - the National Ignition Facility Project - currently under construction in Livermore, California. This 192-beam neodymium-doped glass laser will be the world's largest and its experiments will access high-energy-density and fusion regimes with direct applications to basic and applied high-energy-density physics, inertial fusion energy research, and astrophysics. Many of the enabling NIF Program technologies come from our Laser Science and Technology Program, which develops advanced solid-state laser and optics technologies.
