Research activities:
The Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) program is a research and technology development program recognized for its potential for producing thermonuclear burn in the laboratory and for its application to weapons physics studies of relevance to the weapons RD&T program. The principal focus of the national ICF program is achievement of thermonuclear ignition in the laboratory. Los Alamos is involved in an aggressive program to determine the feasibility of meeting this goal with the 1.8MJ National Ignition Facility (NIF).

In collaboration with other components of the national ICF program, Los Alamos is pursuing resolution of key indirect drive ignition issues for NIF encompassing target physics, target design, target fabrication, and laser performance. To address the uncertainties in target physics, a collection of three experimental campaigns are pursued on the Nova laser through FY96. The topics of these studies include drive symmetry, implosion physics and hohlraum plasma dynamics. Each experimental campaign includes a well integrated effort in theoretical modeling design, fabrication, diagnostic development, experimental fielding and data analysis. A small local glass laser facility, Trident, has proved essential for much of the diagnostic development and for staging experiments to optimize campaigns on Nova. Los Alamos also maintains robust efforts in NIF target design and fabrication technology development. Developing a target design which is robust and can be manufactured with a cryogenic fuel layer is necessary to meeting the goal of ignition with the NIF. Finally, Los Alamos also maintains a small focused effort in NIF laser technology development. Principal research includes the efficiency of the NIF laser including third harmonic generation, glass laser parameterization, and losses due to stimulated Raman scattering in nitrogen.

To best support the defense program's stewardship mission, ICF is strengthening its ties with core nuclear weapons personnel and promoting AGEX experiments on laser facilities. In conducting the ICF program described above, Los Alamos has sought out participation of key core nuclear weapons personnel. Not only have significant contributions been made in experimental design, fielding and diagnostic development, but the leading NIF target design work has been done by core nuclear weapons personnel. Los Alamos also encourages collaborative ICF/AGEX experiments to address issues of common interest to the ICF and weapons physics communities. Experimental campaigns are fielded at Nova and on the Trident laser.

* Research activities in magnetized target fusion are the evaluation of physics issues related to the implosion of wall-confined magnetized plasmas; evaluation of 200MJ class Russian pulsed power systems as target driver candidates; multi-dimensional MHD computer codes.
