Latest News ICOPS-SOFE 2009 The 37th International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS) and 23rd Symposium on Fusion Engineering (SOFE) is to be hosted by UCSD on 31st May to 5th June 2009 HEDP Group actively involved with Fast Ignition research at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Fast Ignition Fusion experiments carried out in collaboration US/UK/Japan partners at RAL reported on the BBC website Prof Beg wins the the 2008 IEEE/NPSS Early Achievement Award Tammy Ma wins Best Talk Award at 2008 UCSD All-Grads Symposium |
Welcome to the HEDP Group The High Energy Density Physics Group at UCSD has been pursuing research on inertial confinement fusion (ICF), fast ignition, laser matter interactions, wire array z-pinches, x-pinches and neutron sources since October 2003. The group has strong simulation component and has access to Particle-in-Cell (PIC) (LSP and Osiris), radiation-hydrodynamic (H2D) and 3D resistive Magneto-Hydrodynamic (MHD) codes. These codes are used for benchmarking of experiments carried out both at National Laboratory and other user facilities, and also in the HEDP laboratory at UCSD. The group is led by Dr. Farhat Beg , and is based in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department , also being a member of the UCSD Center for Energy Research . The group presently consists of 14 group members, comprising two assistant project scientists, two post-doctoral fellows, five graduate students and four undergraduate students. The HEDP group collaborates with General Atomics, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Ohio State University, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK, Imperial College London, Sandia National Laboratory, Nanyang Technical University in Singapore and Cornell University Ithaca, NY.
