Focus Area 2: Direct Laser Impulse

Goal: understand and optimize the ability of high-power lasers to simulate X-ray blow-off and thermo-mechanical shock.

Long-term Strategy: Develop high-fidelity physics models validated by the state-of-the-art experiments and their applications to predict and possibly mitigate X-ray induced blow-off, shock, and plasma generation.
