The field of high-energy-density
physics is on
the verge of a
revolutionary event—
the achievement of
fusion ignition in the
laboratory. Research
on the OMEGA
Laser Facility at
the University of
Rochester and the
National Ignition
Facility at Lawrence
Livermore National
Laboratory will
enable new science
to be conducted
in astrophysics,
materials science
and laser-matter
interactions.
