Title: Progress on Converting a NIF Quad to Eight, Petawatt Beams for Advanced Radiography

Conference ·

We are converting a quad of NIF beamlines into eight, short-pulse (1-50 ps), petawatt-class beams for advanced radiography and fast ignition experiments. This paper describes progress toward completing this project.
