Second Community Workshop for High Energy Density Physics

November 12-14, 2019 SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Menlo Park, CA

Webinars

We have a limited number of talks available at the workshop so some speakers may be asked to present at one of two webinars to be held on October 29th and November 4th. Details regarding the webinars, including links to the remote sessions, are below. At the webinars we will also be presenting the draft "tent-pole" initiatives, discussed in the next section.

Goals

At this workshop we will be presenting the draft "tent-pole" initiatives, which will be discussed in detail in preparation for the all-FES community "Snowmass" meeting to be held in January 2020. Below is the draft list of these initiatives chosen by the HEDP subcommittee based on input from the first workshop, and which we believe encompasses the breadth of HEDP. All of these initiatives will include experimental, diagnostic, and modeling aspects, together forming a bold vision for the future of HEDP within Fusion Energy Sciences.

1. LaserNet US - A high intensity laser network for frontier plasma science in the US

2. Inertial Fusion Energy Science and Technology Program

3. Frontier HED Science on the LCLS MEC Instrument

4. Magnetized HED Science and Pulsed Power Technology

5. Particle and Radiation Sources

As we have previously emphasized, Consensus is Key, your input on the above initiatives is imperative to the future of HEDP within FES. You will have the opportunity to give input prior to and at the next meeting.

Below is the summary report of the first HEDP workshop. Summary presentations for each topical area can be found here.
