The direct-drive, laser-based approach to inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is reviewed from
its inception following the demonstration of the first laser to its implementation on the present …

Hydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements in the Universe. They are also, in
principle, the most simple. Nonetheless, they display remarkable properties under extreme …

Accurate x-ray scattering techniques to measure the physical properties of dense plasmas
have been developed for applications in high energy density physics. This class of …

▪ Abstract We know that giant planets played a crucial role in the making of our Solar
System. The discovery of giant planets orbiting other stars is a formidable opportunity to …

Understanding and designing inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions through radiation-
hydrodynamics simulations relies on the accurate knowledge of the equation of state (EOS) …

Using quantum simulation techniques based on either density functional theory or quantum
Monte Carlo, we find clear evidence of a first-order transition in liquid hydrogen, between a …

It is generally assumed,, that solid hydrogen will transform into a metallic alkali-like crystal at
sufficiently high pressure. However, some theoretical models, have also suggested that …

High-explosive driven generators of cylindrical and plane shock waves in D 2 and H 2 were
used for the generation of warm and dense strongly nonideal matter with an intense …

We study the thermophysical properties of warm dense hydrogen by using quantum
molecular dynamics simulations. Results are presented for the pair distribution functions, the …

The equation of state of hydrogen, helium, and water affects interior structure models of giant
planets significantly. We present a new equation of state data table, LM-REOS, generated by …
