ASTROPHYSICS:
LOTIS: Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System searches for simultaneous optical counterparts of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). NGST: a pre-Phase A study for an imaging Fourier transform spectrograph (IFTS) for the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST). Cataclysmic Variables: a diverse class of short-period semi-detached binaries consisting of an accreting white dwarf primary and (typically) a low-mass main-sequence secondary star. SPECTROSCOPY: EBIT: Highly Charged Ions in a jar providing unprecendented access to the properties of individual ions under extreme conditions. TOKAMAK: Spectroscopic Measurements help us to develop better plasma diagnostics. ASTROPHYSICS: Simulating the radiation of astrophysical sources in the laboratory. |
THEORY:
OPAL: The OPAL code was developed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to compute opacities of low- to mid-Z elements. MODELING:
Tokamak Spectroscopy: Non-LTE atomic modeling is crucial for understanding scaled laboratory experiments for Stockpile Stewardship. |
EXPERIMENTS:
The physical processes of stars have long been of interest to Lawrence Livermore researchers. The prime stellar energy mechanism, thermonuclear fusion, lies at the very heart of the Laboratory's national security mission. USP : Ultra Short Laser Facility |
