Abstract

Over the past 3 decades, there has been an exponential increase in work done in the newly emerging field of matter at extreme states of deformation and compression. This accelerating progress is due to the confluence of new experimental facilities, experimental techniques, theory, and simulations. Regimes of science hitherto thought out of reach in terrestrial settings are now being accessed routinely. High-pressure macroscopic states of matter are being experimentally studied on high-power lasers and pulsed power facilities, and next-generation light sources are probing the quantum response of matter at the atomic level. Combined, this gives experimental access to the properties and dynamics of matter from femtoseconds to microseconds in time scale and from kilobars to gigabars in pressure. There are a multitude of new regimes of science that are now accessible in laboratory settings. Examples include planetary formation dynamics, asteroid and meteor impact dynamics, space hardware response to hypervelocity dust and debris impacts, nuclear reactor component response to prolonged exposure to radiation damage, advanced research into light weight armor, capsule dynamics in inertial confinement fusion research, and the basic high energy density properties of matter. We review highlights and advances in this rapidly developing area of science and research.

Neutron and X-ray Detectors

Program Document Carini, Gabriella; Denes, Peter; Gruener, Sol; ...

The Basic Energy Sciences (BES) X-ray and neutron user facilities attract more than 12,000 researchers each year to perform cutting-edge science at these state-of-the-art sources. While impressive breakthroughs in X-ray and neutron sources give us the powerful illumination needed to peer into the nano- to mesoscale world, a stumbling block continues to be the distinct lag in detector development, which is slowing progress toward data collection and analysis. Urgently needed detector improvements would reveal chemical composition and bonding in 3-D and in real time, allow researchers to watch “movies” of essential life processes as they happen, and make much moremore »« less

Experiments and Simulations of Hypervelocity Impact Plasmas: Final Report

Technical Report Close, Sigrid

The space environment is fraught with complex plasmas spanning a wide range of densities and temperatures. Much of space plasma research has focused on large-scale changes in the ambient plasma and fields from the Sun to the Earth’s atmosphere, driven primarily by the solar wind. Yet one particular type of space plasma, which forms from a hypervelocity impact, remains poorly understood. Hypervelocity impactors include both meteoroids and space debris. Meteoroids are naturally occurring objects in space that travel between 11 and 72.8 km/s and originate primarily from comets and asteroids. In contrast, space debris are human-made objects with speeds typicallymore »« less
Additive Manufactured Materials Studies

Conference Hawkins, M.; Sudderth, A.; Mahoney, James

The production of additively manufactured (AM) materials, is a growing technology that potentially offers more cost effective ways to produce metallic components for various uses. Mechanical properties of some AM metals have been studied, but more work is needed to better understand their dynamic properties as a function of orientation. Due to the melting and reheating of molten metal during fabrication, these materials tend to have internal porosity and slightly different microstructures along the weldments and normal to the weldments that may cause the materials to behave differently than their forged counterparts. The AM process builds up a part layermore »« less

Much of space plasma research has focused on large-scale changes in the ambient plasma and fields from the Sun to the Earth’s atmosphere, driven primarily by the solar wind.
