Note: The FES-supported LaserNetUS user experiment is limited to the OMEGA EP Laser System. While the NNSA-supported NLUF access to the Omega Laser Facility includes both the 60-beam OMEGA Laser and the 4-beam OMEGA EP Laser. NNSA also funds General Atomics to provide fabrication support for standard or off-the-shelf types of targets as needed for awarded NLUF experiments. LLE manages the NLUF program. Proposals to NLUF must be led by scientists from U.S. universities and other institution of higher education or private-sector organizations.
