Topics
High energy density (HED) physics has critical applications in areas such as inertial confinement fusion and the stewardship of the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile. Congress has requested that the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conduct an assessment of HED physics research in the United States. The assessment will identify key challenges and science questions and propose ways to address them in the coming decade. It will include a particular focus on HED material phases and conditions of interest to the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).
