Computational methods in high-energy-density physics

High-Energy-Density (HED) Physics involves experimental, theoretical and computational research in high pressure equation of state (EOS) of matter, opacity of materials in the plasma state, neutral and charged particle cross-section libraries, database for high explosives (HE), shock wave propagation, radiation and explosive driven hydrodynamics, particle transport theory, and modelling of complex experimental systems for inertial confinement fusion. These fields are intimately related to nuclear weapons research as well. Some of the typical computational methods used in HED physics are briefly covered in this talk. (author)
