In FY13, LLNL’s High-Energy-Density Physics (HED) and Indirect Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF-ID) programs conducted several campaigns on the OMEGA laser system and on the EP laser system, as well as campaigns that used the OMEGA and EP beams jointly. Overall LLNL led 290 target shots involving the OMEGA laser system and 158 target shots involving the EP laser system. Approximately 34% of the total number of shots (93 OMEGA shots, 58 EP shots) shots supported the Indirect Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion Campaign (ICF-ID). The remaining 66% (197 OMEGA shots and 100 EP shots) were dedicated to experiments for High-Energy-Density Physics (HED).
