Atlas: A Facility for High Energy Density Physics Research at Los Alamos National Laboratory

Abstract

Atlas is a facility designed to perform high energy-density experiments in support of weapon-physics and basic-research programs at Los Alamos. For hydrodynamic experiments, it will be capable of achieving pressures exceeding 30 Mbar in <cm3 volumes. For radiation transport experiments, it will be capable of producing greater than 3 MJ of soft x-rays.
