The time interval between the beginning of the laser pulse and the peak of neutron emission (bang time) is an important characteristic of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions, directly comparable to numerical simulation. For this reason, neutron bang time (NBT) detectors have been successfully operated on ICF facilities such as the Nova and OMEGA lasers, and have been proposed as a core diagnostic for the Natinal Ignition Facility (NIF). Prototypes of the NBT detector suitable for the NIF have been built and tested on the 60-beam OMEGA laser system.
