Abstract
The National Ignition Facility neutron imaging system (NIS) is an important diagnostic for understanding ignition experiments at the NIF in late 2010. The goal of the diagnostic is to provide spatially resolved information on the production of prompt and scattered neutrons from imploded ignition targets. This information may be used to diagnose hohlraum drive symmetry and pointing conditions, or study the dynamics of DT burn within the ICF target. In this paper we will discuss NIF relevant neutron imaging issues, goals, and current requirements.

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

• If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
• You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
• You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
