I'm pleased to say a new photo gallery is live on the site - Picture Gallery - NIC - 'Bringing star power to earth'It's a pictorial look at the National Ignition Campaign, a series of experiments and simulations for fusion ignition tests, using lasers that have broken the megajoule barrier (picture credits: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory).
"The next phase of the National Ignition Campaign (NIC), a series of
experiments and simulations to prepare NIF for fusion ignition tests in
the coming months, began last fall. Shortly after the dedication of the
NIF facility in May of 2009, NIC began conducting test shots to
fine-tune the performance of NIF's lasers, calibrate its diagnostic
equipment, and verify the sophisticated computer simulations that help
to guide the design of NIF's fusion targets."
