/>All individuals or groups planning to submit applications for new or renewal funding in Fiscal Year 2021 should submit applications in response to this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA).SC-NNSA Joint Program in High-Energy-Density (HED) laboratory plasmasThe HEDLP joint program was established following the 2007 report of the Interagency Task Force on High Energy Density Physics (2007):
“The Office of Science and the NNSA within DOE will establish a joint program in high energy density laboratory plasmas (HED-LP) responsible for stewarding fundamental HED-LP science within the Department of Energy”.Generally, HEDLP research is directed at exploring the behavior of matter at extreme conditions of temperature, density, and pressure, including laboratory astrophysics and planetary science, structure and dynamic of matter at the atomic scale, laser-plasma interactions and relativistic optics, magneto hydrodynamics (MHD) and magnetized plasmas, and plasma atomic physics and radiation transport.
