This report summarizes results of project DE-SC0022202 ``Dynamic Structure of Magnetized High Energy Density Plasmas,'' which was originally funded for the period 08/01/2021 - 7/31/2022, but was no-cost extended to 7/31/2023. The primary objectives of the work, as stated in the original proposal, were ``develop a theory to describe a novel state of magnetized high energy density plasmas, benchmark the theory using first-principles molecular dynamics simulations, and apply the results to develop a means to interpret x-ray scattering measurements in future experiments.'' These were the goals of the original project proposal, which was for a 3 year project. The project was ultimately funded for 1 year, and so the work completed focused on the goals described for only the first year of the proposed work. This included further developing a kinetic theory for strongly magnetized plasmas, applying it to compute fluid-scale (MHD) transport coefficients, and to test the predictions using molecular dynamics simulations.
