The study of structure, thermodynamic state, equation of state (EOS) and transport properties
of warm dense matter (WDM) has become one of the key aspects of laboratory astrophysics …

We measured the stop** of energetic protons in an isochorically heated solid-density Be
plasma with an electron temperature of∼ 32 eV, corresponding to moderately coupled [(e …

We report the results of the second charged-particle transport coefficient code comparison
workshop, which was held in Livermore, California on 24–27 July 2023. This workshop …

In this paper I discuss the subject of warm dense matter (WDM), which, apart from being of
academic interest and relevant to inertial fusion capsules, is a subject of importance to those …

Nuclei interacting with electrons in dense plasmas acquire electronic bound states, modify
continuum states, generate resonances and hop** electron states, and generate short …

We investigate the emergence of electronic excitations from the inhomogeneous electronic
structure at warm dense matter parameters based on first-principles calculations. The …

Continuum lowering is a well known and important physics concept that describes the
ionization potential depression (IPD) in plasmas caused by thermal-or pressure-induced …

Energy relaxation of the hot electron population generated by relativistic laser pulses in
overdense plasma is analyzed for densities ranging from below to 1000 times solid density …

We have developed an experimental platform at the National Ignition Facility that employs
colliding planar shocks to produce warm dense matter with uniform conditions and enable …

High intensity short-pulse laser experiments are used for various applications from fast
ignitor concept to proton beam generation. These systems produce substantial fluxes of …
