Energy security is a significant concern for national and international economic vitality and stability. A major step towards energy independence for the global community would be the successful demonstration of thermonuclear ignition in a laboratory setting, marking an era of potentially limitless energy supply. Inertial confinement fusion is one path that may lead to this goal. Target Diagnostics Physics and Engineering for Inertial Confinement Fusion refers to the cross disciplinary research, development, and engineering being performed at high energy density science facilities around the world, aimed at providing key performance data to enable scientific programs to obtain ignition.
Target Diagnostics Physics and Engineering (TDPE) draws from a broad set of disciplines including, optical and materials sciences, atomic, nuclear, and plasma physics, as well as mechanical, optical, and nuclear engineering. The disciplines are brought to bear on a variety of key scientific phenomena, such as radiation and material temperatures, shock and material velocities, material dimensions, as well as, plasma phenomena such as laser matter interactions. Diagnostic techniques typically require a team of physicists, engineers, and skilled technicians, to perform the research and development required to bring new techniques to maturity, design and implement these as operational diagnostics, as well as to qualify and maintain these important scientific tools. TDPE solicits contributed papers concerning, but not limited to, the design, implementation, qualification, and operation of diagnostics, or systems addressing:
optical techniques, such as system and target alignment, target performance, such as backscatter and velocimetry, etc...
x-ray and gamma-ray techniques, including streaked, gated, and time integrated imaging and spectroscopy
particle techniques, including time-of-flight, gated and time integrated imaging, and spectroscopy
data acquisition and timing
emerging and novel techniques, such as prompt radiochemistry, or time dilated X-ray imaging.
