Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Supporting the broad community
of high-energy-density researchers

The Jupiter Laser Facility is an institutional user facility  in the Physical and Life Sciences Directorate  at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The facility is designed to provide a high degree of experimental flexibility and high laser shot rates, and to allow direct user operation of experiments.

The Jupiter Laser Facilities missions are to support lab-wide research pertinent to LLNL programs (e.g. High Energy Density Science ), to promote collaborations with research institutions and universities , and to provide a stimulating environment for the training of young scientists with a special emphasis on the National Ignition Facility , (NIF).
