Overview of current progress on Opacity-on-NIF and comparisons between Z and theory

ORAL

Abstract

The Opacity-on-NIF campaign1,2,4,5 measures transmission to provide opacity data for Fe and other elements to help address the discrepancy between theory and Opacity-on-Z data3. The Opacity-on-NIF experiments have worked to improve reproducibility and have produced the first quantitative comparisons of experimental data from NIF with theory and Z data. Current status of the Opacity-on-NIF platform and uncertainties of these comparisons will be discussed.
