Bruce A. Remington New regimes of high energy density

Title: New regimes of high energy density (HED) science on the National Ignition Facility Speaker: Bruce A. Remington, NIF Discovery Science Program Leader, Institute: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, CA, USA The Discovery Science program at NIF allows basic science to be pursued on NIF. A number of examples will be given in this presentation. Equations of state at extreme pressures relevant to planetary and exoplanet interiors are being measured. [1] Studies of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities at high Reynolds number, relevant to supernova explosions, are being studied. [2] Experiments to study magnetic reconnection at HED conditions have been done. [3] High velocity, low density interpenetrating plasmas that generate collisionless astrophysical shocks, magnetic fields, and that accelerate particles relevant to cosmic ray sources are also being studied. [4] Experiments relevant to turbulent star formation dynamics are underway on NIF. [5, 6] Relativistically hot plasmas are being generated and studied on the NIF ARC laser, with possible relevance to gamma burst dynamics. [7] [1] T.
