They are doing MTF, magnetized target fusion, so they probably have some confinement of their plasma. Think ITER with seconds of confinement, vs NIF or a nuke with no confinment but really high power. They are somewhere in the middle.

They are using piezo brakes to slow down their pistons so they arrive with the correct timing. I think the jitter they are looking for is around 20us.
