TL;DR: Test measurements of the PD-PMT at Atomic Weapons Establishment confirmed that design goals have been met and features such as onset of alpha heating, shock reverberations, and burn truncation due to dynamically evolving failure modes may become visible for the first time.

TL;DR: These results demonstrate viability for the follow-on Phases of (II) the use of a revolutionary new pulse-dilation photomultiplier tube to improve the effective measurement bandwidth by >10x relative to current PMT technology; and (III) the design of a NIF-specific "Super" GCD which will be informed by the assessment of the radiation background environment within the well described here.
