In the Target Area

Dante Diagnostic
Many instruments-detectors, oscilloscopes, interferometers, streak cameras, and other diagnostics-surround the target chamber to measure the system's performance and record experimental results. By characterizing the X-rays generated during NIF experiments, the Dante soft X-ray power diagnostic, shown here, helps scientists understand how well the experiment performed.
