The targets are really the secret sauce right? If there were a civil ICF for power program, would NIF designs and data even be available to help, or is it all classified?
There are pictures of CAD and experimental setups for the targets. They’re also pretty open with the setup numbers, so in theory, you could make your own NIF setup and try to get their target designs working.
From what I understand, a lot of the work from the past years has been trying to piece together geometries, pulse timing, stability, and quality of targets.
