Our mission is to perform high energy density physics (HEDP) experiments for stockpile stewardship and develop the basic science of HEDP while delivering a high-yield inertial confinement fusion (ICF) capability for application to weapons effects, weapons physics, and energy production. We team with universities, industry, international partners, and other Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories.
Research Emphasis
- Develop, diagnose, and characterize x-ray and isentropic compression sources and use to evaluate primaries, secondaries, and hostile environments
- Diagnose and model HEDP environment in targets driven by intense x rays
- Validate driver and target requirements for z-pinch-driven high-yield concepts
- Develop diagnostics for and evaluate performance of National Ignition Facility targets
