Abstract:

Experiments at the National Ignition Facility will require a variety of target diagnostics, and x-ray imaging will be one of the most important classes of diagnostics. Various types of x-ray imaging techniques will be used, in conjunction with various types of detectors. This talk will review some of these x-ray imaging techniques and their associated requirements for x-ray optics and x-ray detectors.
