Preface to special topic: High-energy density laboratory astrophysics

  • 1. SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Menlo Park, CA (United States)

Description

Here, in the 1990s, when the large inertial confinement fusion facilities in the United States became accessible for discovery-class research, physicists soon realized that the combination of these energetic drivers with precision plasmas diagnostics would allow the unprecedented experimental study of astrophysical problems.
