The bending of beams and the second moment of area Open
We present an overview of the laws governing the bending of beams and of beam theory. Particular emphasis is put on beam stiffness associated with different cross section shapes using the concept of the second moment of area.

Simultaneous visualization of wall motion, beam propagation, and implosion symmetry on the National Ignition Facility (invited) Open
Achieving a symmetric implosion in National Ignition Facility indirect drive targets requires understanding and control of dynamic changes to the laser power transport in the hohlraum. We developed a new experimental platform to simultaneo…

Short pulse, high resolution, backlighters for point projection high-energy radiography at the National Ignition Facility Open
High-resolution, high-energy X-ray backlighters are very active area of research for radiography experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) [Miller et al., Nucl. Fusion 44, S228 (2004)], in particular those aiming at obtaining Com…

Observation of hohlraum-wall motion with spectrally selective x-ray imaging at the National Ignition Facility Open
The high fuel capsule compression required for indirect drive inertial confinement fusion requires careful control of the X-ray drive symmetry throughout the laser pulse. When the outer cone beams strike the hohlraum wall, the plasma ablat…

Two-color spatial and temporal temperature measurements using a streaked soft x-ray imager Open
A dual-channel streaked soft x-ray imager has been designed and used on high energy-density physics experiments at the National Ignition Facility. This streaked imager creates two images of the same x-ray source using two slit apertures an…

A new streaked soft x-ray imager for the National Ignition Facility Open
A new streaked soft x-ray imager has been designed for use on high energy-density (HED) physics experiments at the National Ignition Facility based at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. This streaked imager uses a slit aperture, s…
