Dr. Jonathan Skidmore
In this seminar an overview will be presented of First Light Fusion including our current facilities, diagnostics, and simulation capabilities. I will then describe a recent experimental campaign to confirm the production of deuterium-deuterium (DD) fusion neutrons by an inertial confinement fusion target that is driven by a one-sided impact.
