| NOTICE TO POTENTIAL NLUF USERS
In the course of formulating proposals
to NLUF, many principal investigators have established mutually useful
collaborations with LLE staff. The laboratory
encourages such collaborations but cautions potential users that individual
LLE staff collaborations on NLUF proposals must be officially approved
by LLE 30 days in advance of proposal submissions.
Please contact the NLUF Manager (585-275-3866)
if you have any questions regarding this policy.
LLE has provided qualified researchers with a unique environment
for experiments in inertial fusion and high-energy-density physics through
access to the National Laser Users' Facility (NLUF). In addition to investigations
of inertial fusion physics, approved experiments have been conducted in
plasma physics, x-ray laser physics, XUV spectroscopy, and instrumentation
development. The Office of Inertial Fusion of the Department of Energy funds
the operation of NLUF, thus making it possible for researchers to conduct
experiments without a direct facility charge. In addition, the Department
of Energy provides research funds directly to users for experiments in inertial
fusion and related scientific areas. NLUF is administered by a full-time
manager, who reports to the LLE Director. All proposals are reviewed by
the NLUF Steering Committee, which ranks them according to scientific merit.
The Committee is appointed by the President of the University of Rochester,
with Department of Energy approval. Members include outstanding scientists
from universities, industry, and government. View
