LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY
Jupiter Laser Facility
The Jupiter Laser Facility is an institutional laser facility operated by V-Division in the LLNL Physical Sciences Directorate. It is built around a collection of medium-scale laser systems including Janus, Titan, Callisto, Europa, and COMET. Janus is a two-beam laser used for target physics and diagnostics. Titan is a combined nanosecond-long pulse and ultra-short-pulse laser. It is used for high-energy-density physics experiments including research of fast ignition for inertial confinement fusion. Callisto is a test-bed for HEPW science. Europa is a high-repetition-rate ultra-short-pulse facility. COMET is a table-top x-ray laser. On November 28, 2007 Jupiter opened its user facility next to its experimental complex.
