The 21st Direct Drive and Fast Ignition Workshop (DDFIW) continues a series of meetings dedicated to inertial confinement fusion research in Europe. DDFIW provides a unique opportunity for European and overseas scientists working on theory, simulations, and experiments to present and discuss their latest results and future plans in an informal atmosphere. The meeting also addresses new schemes for inertial confinement fusion and related science at the cutting edge of high energy density physics research.
Representatives of leading laser user facilities will illustrate the opportunities for new experiments, and the development of simulation codes and their validation with experiments will be discussed. The workshop will also give students and young scientists the chance to delve deeper into the science of Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) and explore collaborations and opportunities offered by groups around the world working on experiments, simulations and theory.
The Workshop will be concluded, on June 12th, by a satellite meeting dedicated to the Laserlab-Europe AISBL expert group "Micro- and nano-structured materials for experiments with high-power lasers".
