DELTA Target Chamber

1973:

This vacuum chamber was used for a variety of early laser-matter interaction and implosion experiments at LLE in the early to mid-70s. Some of the pioneering experiments conducted on DELTA included: cryogenic deuterium targets, early measurements of stimulated scattering in laser-produced plasmas, and compressed plasma density measurements using Stark broadening of x-ray lines.
