Digital Radiography of Feature Edges for NIF RadHohl 09C Ta2O5 Targets 18, 19, and GA

The summary of this paper are: (1) Digital radiography data was collected for three NIF RadHohl 09C targets in order to characterize the edges of the features placed in the tantalum-oxide (Ta{sub 2}O{sub 5}) target material. (2) Radiographs of an edge for each target were compared for each of three target rotations. (3) Lineouts of the sample pixel values across each edge in each case were generated and plotted. (4) The raw data for the lineouts has been stored in an accompanying Excel file named '20X{_}FeatureEdgeLineouts.xls'. (5) Peter Young is performing a more detailed analysis of the data in an effort to make a comparison between the quality of the edges milled by LLNL and laser cut by GA.
