NIF Target Chamber
Temperatures of 100 million degrees and pressures extreme enough to compress the target to densities up to 100 times the density of lead will be created in the target chamber. Surrounding the target will be diagnostic equipment capable of examining in minute detail the arrival of the laser beams and the reaction of the target to this sudden deposition of energy.
