Joining the Lab in 2002, Nathan Meezan quickly established himself as one of LLNL's experts in hohlraum physics and design for laser - driven targets, and was chosen to be the lead designer for the very important first implosion campaign on the NIF laser. (llnl.gov)
He championed this design, which has opened a whole new part of parameter space for hohlraums on NIF. (llnl.gov)
Their goal is to field the fibers as a capsule - support alternative to the «tents» traditionally used to hold the peppercorn - size capsules inside NIF hohlraums (see «How NIF Targets Work»). (llnl.gov)
