Volume 61 Issue 2
This Month鈥檚 Cover...shows the type of cryogenic target used by the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to achieve fusion ignition this past December, producing more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it for the first time in history. In these inertial confinement fusion research experiments, 192 laser beams are focused on a tiny fuel capsule suspended inside a cylindrical x-ray oven called a hohlraum (at bottom, inside the circle). For more information, see Dan MacIsaac鈥檚 鈥淲ebSights鈥� column on page 160 (photo credit, Jason Laurea, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory).
