scattering (SRS) is a concern for indirect drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF). The
hohlraum designs for the National Ignition Facility (NIF) raise particular concerns due to the
large scale and homogeneity of the plasmas within them. Experiments at Nova have studied
laser–plasma interactions within large scale length plasmas that mimic many of the
characteristics of the NIF hohlraum plasmas. Filamentation and scattering of laser light by …
