Inertial confinement fusion has long succeeded in the context of militai y explosions—the hydrogen bomb. In the militai y application a fission bomb produces x-rays that drive an implosion of D-T fuel to enormous temperatures and densities such that fusion reactions occur during the short time that inertia keeps the fusing nuclei densely packed and hot.

We are applying the principles of statistical experimental design to the development of low-density polymer foams for use as direct-drive high-gain targets for Laser Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF). Both polystyrene (PS) and resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) foams are being developed. 

The gas-phase decomposition of beryllocenes has been examined for the doping of semiconductor materials and in the preparation of thin metal films. Molecular-beam expitaxy has been used with (MeC5H4)2Be to dope InP semiconductors only a small amount of carbon is found in the doped films.54 Beryllocene 9 has been explored as a precursor for coating capsules with beryllium metal for use as targets in experiments with inertial confinement fusion.55...

The interaction of an ultrahigh-intensity laser with a dense plasma is of wide interest, as these lasers open up new horizons for research, such as fs X-ray radiation probing [1,2], energetic particle acceleration [3], and inertial confinement fusion [4,5]. A new spectroscopic method that provides the kind of time- and space-resolved information required to obtain a more quantitative understanding of energy deposition than that provided by particle measurements has been under development [5-8]. Because of the relatively low temperatures that can be accessed with current lasers, conventional K-shell line spectroscopy using near-fully ionized plasma is not suitable.

The peculiarities of plasma flow in the edge region of magnetic confinement fusion machines result from the strong stiffness of the equations (very different timescales within one problem), the inherently (at least) two-dimensional nature of the flow (on multiple connected domains), the extreme anisotropy (by a factor 106) in the flow, the strongly nonlinear dependence of the transport coefficients on the flow parameters, the large number of species (equations) to be considered simultaneously, and the nonlocal nature...
