Description
The history of power compression is a series of developmental epochs that are (1) characteristically marked by a technological breakthrough and (2) generally separated by a factor of ∼1010 in power density. Based on new advances in high-power coherent x-ray technology, the transition to a new nuclear epoch of laser interactions is presently commencing. Chief outcomes foreseen are (1) the generation of power densities in the 1028-1030 W/cm3 realm, (2) the controlled induction of nuclear interactions, and (3) the production of new states and forms of nuclear matter.
