The diagnostic, installed on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at the DOE&#8217;s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, will analyze and record data from high-energy density experiments created by firing NIF&#8217;s 192 lasers at tiny pellets of fuel. Such experiments are relevant to projects that include the U.S. Stockpile Stewardship Program, which maintains the U.S. nuclear deterrent without full-scale testing, and to inertial confinement fusion, an alternative to the magnetic confinement fusion that PPPL studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy&#8217;s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have built and delivered a high-resolution X-ray spectrometer for the largest and most powerful laser facility in the world.
