Overview

Included below are a few strategic directions for research.

Equation of state and transport:

• Ultra-dense matter equation-of-state (EOS) and transport
• Hot-dense plasma in the radiation and relativistic regimes
• Thermal and electrical conductivity and viscosity

Radiation transport:

• Opacity and emissivity for Fe, Si, C, H
• Radiation transport in non-local-thermal-equilibrium conditions

Non-hydrodynamic behavior:

• Implications of non-markov processes
• Field-dominated regimes
• Highly correlated and driven regimes, in particular for laser-plasma interaction

Next generation capabilities for materials:

• Structure of slides and liquids at extreme densities
• Temperature
• Correlation spectrum measurements
• Extreme chemistry; core-shell reactions
• Nuclear physics in HEDP: pycnonuclear fusion, screening effects
