XCP-6: Plasma Theory and Applications

Developing and promoting state-of-the-art theoretical and computational modeling of plasmas

We are responsible for plasma physics theory, simulation, and algorithm implementation with our multi-physics codes.

The Plasma Theory and Applications group (XCP-6) nurtures expertise in a range of plasma simulation capabilities, including particle-in-cell (PIC), hybrid (PIC + fluid), radiation-hydrodynamic, magnetohydrodynamic, and charged particle transport.

Xcp 6 Featured Body 960x500 — Researching the effects on infrastructure of high altitude nuclear bursts.

Our application areas include:

Charged particle beam generation
Plasma acceleration and transport
Model verification and physics validation
Inertial confinement fusion
Thermonuclear ignition
Laser-plasma interaction
Fast ignition concepts
High-energy density science
X-ray radiographic simulation
Particle-in-cell code simulations
High-power and high-energy electromagnetic sources
Directed-energy research
Pulsed-power physics
Magnetohydrodynamic phenomena
Space plasmas
