High Energy Density Science Experiments at NIF
The National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is a 192-beam laser system designed for research in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and other areas of high energy density (HED) science. NIF was constructed by the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) in support of the Stockpile Stewardship Program (SSP). NIF construction was completed on March 27, 2009. NIF is operational and is the most powerful ICF laser facility in the world.
LLNL is issuing a call for proposals for experiments in fundamental high energy density (HED) science experiments at NIF for the period Fiscal Years 2010 to 2012. The solicitation contains two components:
- NIF Facility Time Solicitation: Applicants may apply for NIF facility time in the FY2010-FY2012 timeframe. Direct financial support for NIF experiments via this call is not available at this time, though the facility will provide internal support consistent with available capabilities and resources.
- NIF Concept Development Solicitation: Applicants may apply for 1 one-year contracts with a maximum of $100,000 to develop ideas for NIF experiments in greater detail.
Applicants are free to submit as many applications as they wish in either of these categories.
