Tammy Ma has been named Woman of the Year for the 16th Assembly District by Assembly member Rebecca Bauer-Kahan.

This book introduces a quantum-mechanical description of the nuclear fission process from an initial compound state to scission.

This book presents recently developed computational approaches for the study of reactive materials under extreme physical and thermodynamic conditions.

It is shown that some aspects of the accretion disc physics can be experimentally simulated with the use of an array of properly directed plasma jets created by intense laser beams.

Filling the need for a book bridging the effect of matter on X-ray radiation and the interaction of x-rays with plasmas, this monograph provides comprehensive coverage of the topic.

Advances in computational methods have made it possible to elucidate ever more of hydrogen's and helium's properties. Some of these methods that have been applied in recent years, in particular, those that perform simulations directly from the physical picture of electrons and ions, such as density functional theory and quantum Monte Carlo are reviewed.

Proton imaging is commonly used to reveal the electric and magnetic fields that are found in high energy density plasmas. Presented here is an analysis of this technique that is directed towards developing additional insight into the underlying physics.

An analysis of the dependence of transport on the safety factor profile in high-performance, steady-state scenario discharges is presented. This is based on experimental scans of q95 and qmin taken with fixed bN, toroidal field, double-null plasma shape, divertor pumping, and electron cyclotron current drive input.

The National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory includes a precision laser system now capable of delivering 1.8 MJ at 500 TW of 0.35-μm light to a target.

We report a study of materials recovered from a uranium-containing plasma generated by an electric arc.
