More than 600 researchers in the fields of inertial fusion sciences, high energy physics and related applications will gather for the Sixth International Conference on Inertial Fusion Sciences and Applications (IFSA) from Sept. 6-11 in San Francisco. The weeklong conference featured renowned laser scientists from around the world who discussed the many significant advances that have been made in high energy density science, including the dedication of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in May. NIF's initial experiments, conducted that summer in preparation for its fusion ignition campaign in 2010, was one of the major topics throughout the IFSA conference. Fusion researchers from around the National Nuclear Security Administration complex were among the presenters. "This conference is an excellent venue for NNSA to showcase the impact of its investment in nuclear security and the cutting-edge fusion research being conducted at NNSA's laboratories," said NNSA Administrator Thomas D'Agostino. "The work done at facilities like the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore, the Omega laser at the University of Rochester and the Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories are major components of NNSA's technical program to ensure the reliability of our nation's nuclear deterrent in the absence of underground testing. The research done across the nuclear security enterprise, in combination with detailed computer simulations and other test data, is providing the ground breaking science to meet our national security needs while promoting broader national priorities."
