These advances will also benefit inertial confinement fusion research and the nation (TM)s nuclear weapon (TM)s program. The report describes the major research facilities on which such high energy density conditions can be achieved and lists a number of key scientific questions about high energy density physics that can be addressed by this research. Several recommendations are presented that would facilitate the development of a comprehensive strategy for realizing these research opportunities.Plasma (Ionized gases)Energy level densitiesPlasma densityPlasma astrophysicsLaser-plasma interactionsPlasma (Ionized gases)Energy level densities.Plasma density.Plasma astrophysics.Laser-plasma interactions.530.4MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910970935803321Frontiers in high energy density physics4356531UNINA
