Workshop on Frontiers of High Energy Density Science and Plasma Physics
July 22-23, 2019 | Fort Collins, Colorado
High Energy Density Plasma Sciences encompasses everything from astrophysics to ultra-fast to ultra-intense laser-plasma interactions, intense radiation and more.
Join us for a 1.5 day workshop with an emphasis on:
- Theory and computation,
- Measurement techniques and diagnostics,
- Beams and disruptions, and
- The use of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
Speakers come from academia and industry and will lead special discussion topics:
- MHD, Plasma Kinetic and Atomic Physics/Radiation Transport codes
- Magnetic field generation, deployment, B field detection
- Diagnostic techniques including Optical and X ray Thomson scattering, particle beam detection, etc.
- Radiation and particle damage
- Space propulsion
- Waste treatment
- Nano science
