Journal ArticleDOI
National Ignition Facility target design and fabrication
Robert Cook,B. J. Kozioziemski,Abbas Nikroo,H.L. Wilkens,Suhas Bhandarkar,Andrew C Forsman,S. W. Haan,M. L. Hoppe,H. Huang,Evan Mapoles,John Moody,J. D. Sater,R. Seugling,Richard B. Stephens,M. Takagi,H. Xu +15 more
TL;DR: The first ignition experiments at the NIF Facility beginning in 2009 will be a copper-doped beryllium capsule, roughly 2mm in diameter with 160-µm walls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in 2 mm Glow Discharge Polymer Mandrel Development for NIF
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss recent progress towards converting this process into a high yield, production scale process, and show that fabrication of a mandrel which met the symmetry and surface finish requirements was feasible using this technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication and properties of overcoated resorcinol-formaldehyde shells for omega experiments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Resorcinol-formaldehyde (R/F) as the selected foam material due to its transparency in the optical region and provided extensive characterization of the wall uniformity of these shells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the wall uniformity of resorcinol formaldehyde foam shells by modifying emulsion components
R. R. Paguio,M. Takagi,M. Thi,J. F. Hund,Abbas Nikroo,Sally Paguio,R. W. Luo,A. L. Greenwood,O. Acenas,S. Chowdhury +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have developed a production process for both standard density (100 mg/cc) and high density (180-200 mg/c) resorcinol formaldehyde (RF) foam shells with a triple orifice droplet generator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of High Quality Poly(α-Methylstyrene) Mandrels for NIF
M. Takagi,Robert Cook,B.W. McQuillan,Fred Elsner,Richard B. Stephens,Abbas Nikroo,Jane Gibson,Sally Paguio +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for making spherical poly(α-methylstyrene) (PαMS) mandrels was developed. The process utilizes a small amount (< 0.1wt%) of high-molecular-weight poly(acrylic acid) (PA) in th...
