High-Energy-Density Physics<br />

Richard Petrasso, Head, High-Energy-Density Physics Division.<br />

The High-Energy-Density Physics (HEDP)<br />

Division has carried out pioneering and<br />

important studies <strong>of</strong> Inertial Confinement<br />

Fusion (ICF) physics. The Division designs<br />

and implements diagnostics on <strong>the</strong> OMEGA<br />

and NIF laser fusion facilities, and performs<br />

<strong>the</strong>oretical calculations to study and explore<br />

<strong>the</strong> non-linear dynamics and properties <strong>of</strong><br />

plasmas in inertial fusion and those under<br />

extreme conditions <strong>of</strong> density, pressure and<br />

field strength.<br />
