Technical Information

This Center integrates a currently dispersed effort throughout the country and provides coordination among the major research areas:

• Numerical simulation of intense laser matter interactions and transport (UCLA, UNR, LLNL, UR, MIT)
• Experimental investigation of intense laser matter interactions and transport (OSU, UT, UNR, UCSD, LLNL, MIT, UR)
• Target Fabrication (GA, UR, LLNL)
• Fuel Assembly (GA, MIT, UR, LLNL)
• Integrated Experiments and Simulations (all participants)
• Diagnostic Development (OSU, UCSD, MIT, UT, LLNL, UR)

The Fusion Science Center provides a coordinated multi-disciplinary approach to study Fast Ignition and Ultra HEDP
