We accomplish these objectives by coordinating the activities of the seven partner research groups in the NNSA-sponsored Multi-University Center for the Study of Pulsed-Power-Driven High-Energy-Density Plasmas. We also work collaboratively with members of partner research groups on individual projects and by participating in workshops and conferences that bring together HED researchers from many institutions. Our general philosophy is to do very careful, in depth and accurate work, including the appropriate null experiments to be sure that our results are on the strongest of foundations, and then we compare with the results of computer simulations both to help understand the experimental results and to help validate the computer code. Our laboratory collaborates with many institutions nationally (Pulsed Power Sciences Directorate at Sandia National Lab, as well as groups at other U.S. universities) and internationally (Plasma Physics group at Imperial College in the UK).
