Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) has existed as a field of study since the 1970s, but the field
was born out of the Cold War. In the decades since the 1960s, pioneering research …

Pulsed power accelerators compress electrical energy in space and time to provide versatile
experimental platforms for high energy density and inertial confinement fusion science. The …

Abstract Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instabilities are well-known
pathways towards turbulent mixing layers, in many cases characterized by significant mass …

The quest for controlled fusion energy has been ongoing for over a half century. The
demonstration of ignition and energy gain from thermonuclear fuels in the laboratory has …

Inertial confinement fusion seeks to create burning plasma conditions in a spherical capsule
implosion, which requires efficiently absorbing the driver energy in the capsule, transferring …

Motivated by the current high interest in the field of warm dense matter research, in this
article we review the uniform electron gas (UEG) at finite temperature and over a broad …

We present experimental results from the first systematic study of performance scaling with
drive parameters for a magnetoinertial fusion concept. In magnetized liner inertial fusion …

We present an overview of the magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) concept Magnetized Liner
Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) pursued at Sandia National Laboratories and review some of the …

The application of an external 26 Tesla axial magnetic field to a D 2 gas-filled capsule
indirectly driven on the National Ignition Facility is observed to increase the ion temperature …

Quantum hydrodynamics (QHD) theory for finite temperature plasmas is consistently derived
in the framework of the local density approximation of the free energy with first order density …
