Direct-Drive and Fast Ignition Workshop 2022

Madrid, Spain, May 3rd – 6th , 2022

The 17th Direct Drive and Fast Ignition Workshop (DDFIW) continue a series of meetings dedicated to inertial confinement research in Europe. DDFIW provides a unique opportunity for European and overseas scientists working in theory, simulations, and experiments to present and discuss their latest results and future plansin an informal atmosphere. The meeting also addresses new schemes for inertial confinement fusion and related science at the cutting edge of high energy density physics research.

Representatives of leading laser user facilities will illustrate the opportunitiesfor new experiments, including those to be performed at the CLPU, Salamanca, with the 1 PW, high repetition rate facility VEGA3. Also, the development of simulation codes and their validation with experiments will be discussed. The workshop will also give students and young scientists the chance to learn about IFE science and look for collaborations and opportunities offered by worldwide experimental, simulation, and theory groups.

The workshop is planned to be in person. However, the sanitary conditions may suggest turning the workshop into online or hybrid formats. Venue: The meeting will be held at the School of Aerospace Engineering of the Technical University of Madrid. The location is about 15 minutes from the historical city centre by public transportation.
