NLUF Jet Target
March 25, 2009
A target used for an OMEGA NLUF experiment carried out by a team from MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center to study jet formation using proton radiography. The large, 20-mm-diameter, conical structure is used to shield the diagnostic systems from x-ray radiation generated by the laser beams that are used to form the jet in the foam cylinder behind the cone.
