waves, and the behavior of relativistic, diamagnetic electron flow in strong electromagnetic fields is a large extrapolation beyond the physics of magnetrons. The successful generation of multi-kiloampere-per-square-centimeter light-ion beams in magnetically insulated ion diodes has resulted from careful study of the physics of collective effects in electron and ion streams in strong electric fields.

Research objectives within these areas include determining thresholds, saturation levels, and scaling relationships; normalizing high-temperature theoretical opacity models; obtaining high-pressure EOS data and standards for programmatically relevant materials; and characterizing phenomenology associated with plasma compression in excess of a factor of 100. There also exists a related set of research areas that reflects the interdisciplinary nature of plasma science, when compared with the more formally recognized academic fields of study such as atomic physics, optical physics, condensed matter physics, and fluid mechanics.

Significant plasma flows can be created with high-brightness lasers. These plasma flows, which can have velocities approaching 109 cm/s, can be directed across externally applied magnetic fields or used to form counters/reaming plasmas.
