Abstract
The characterization of OMEGA cryogenic targets is based
on shadowgraphs obtained from multiple angular views taken with the target
in the layering sphere. The D2 ice has been observed to
re-layer during slow rotations, leading to procedural changes that avoid
re-layering thus ensuring high-quality, spherical-harmonic, 3-D ice layer
reconstructions. Shadowgrams taken inside the target chamber within 20 ms of
shot time have verified that the ice layers remain preserved during the
transport.
