The Radiation Driven Hydrodynamics and ICF Physics

The Radiation Driven Hydrodynamics and ICF physics team in P-22 conducts experiments in support of both the ICF/Radiation Physics program office and the X division code validation and verification effort at LANL. Experiments are currently conducted by P-22 at both the Z accelerator at Sandia National Laboratory and the Omega Laser at the University of Rochester. Experiments are also possible using the Trident laser in P-24 at LANL, the HELEN laser at AWE, and ultimately at the NIF facility at LLNL when that facility comes into operation.
