To take full advantage of the capabilities offered by the Omega laser facility, the experimental teams at the University of Rochester need the capability to field cryogenic targets. The cryogenic target delivery system must be able to produce uniform solid or liquid DT layers 2--20 ..mu..m within polymer shells which are 300--400 ..mu..m in diameter. The facility must be able to maintain its experiment rate of one shot per 1/2 h and each target must be documented within the experimental chamber for postshot analysis. We will discuss the approach and equipment that KMS is using in collaboration with the University of Rochester to provide Omega with the capability to field cryogenic inertial confined fusion (ICF) targets.
