High-energy γ rays generated from inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments have
become an important signature for studying the dynamics of implosion processes. Due to …

Nuclear reactions are the driver of the evolution of many astrophysical objects. In the
astrophysical environment their respective reaction rates are, however, modified due to the …

Fast isochoric heating of a pre-compressed plasma core with a high-intensity short-pulse
laser is an attractive and alternative approach to create ultra-high-energy-density states like …

As high-intensity short-pulse lasers that can operate at high-repetition-rate (HRR)(> 10 Hz)
come online around the world, the high energy density (HED) science they enable will …

Stars are giant thermonuclear plasma furnaces that slowly fuse the lighter elements in the
universe into heavier elements, releasing energy, and generating the pressure required to …

The interaction of relativistically intense lasers with opaque targets represents a highly non-
linear, multi-dimensional parameter space. This limits the utility of sequential 1D scanning of …

The deuterium-tritium (DT) γ-to-neutron branching ratio [H 3 (d, γ) He 5/H 3 (d, n) He 4] has
been determined previously under inertial-confinement fusion (ICF) conditions and in beam …

MeV-range ions generated in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and high-energy-density
physics experiments carry a wealth of information, including fusion reaction yield, rate, and …

An absolute cross section for the radiative capture reaction H 2 (p, γ) He 3 has been
measured at the OMEGA laser facility using inertially confined plasmas. These high …

The question about the origin of the elements is a fascinating one, that scientists have been
trying to answer for the last seven decades. The formation of light elements in the primordial …
