DESCRIPTION:Presentation Abstract: The IEEE Pikes Peak Section invites you 
 to attend a presentation on the full-scale material mockups\, and recordin
 g of physical events that simulate a nuclear implosion/detonation. This ef
 fort leads to the refinements of computer programs that simulate the actua
 l event. The presenter is Dr. Chris Rose\, a research staff member at Los 
 Alamos National Laboratory. And no – we are not going show you how 
 to build or detonate a nuclear bomb. The presentation will focus on the Du
 al-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test Facility (DARHT) which is part of t
 he Department of Energy's stockpile stewardship program at Los Alamos Nati
 onal Laboratory. The facility uses two large X-ray sources driven by two l
 inear induction accelerators (LIAs) to record three-dimensional interior i
 mages of materials. In most experiments\, materials undergo hydrodynamic s
 hock to simulate the implosion process in nuclear bombs and/or the effects
  of severe hydrodynamic stress. The tests are described as "full-scale moc
 kups of the events that trigger the nuclear detonation". The powerful puls
 ed X-ray beams allow for an ultra-fast motion picture to be constructed sh
 owing the details of the process being studied in three dimensions. The te
 sts are often compared with computer simulations to help improve the accur
 acy of the computer code. Such testing falls under the category of sub-cri
 tical testing. Dr. Rose will give an overview of the DARHT facility\, and 
 discuss the operation of the two accelerators including pulsed power syste
 ms.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Pikes Peak Power and Energy Society \n\nSpeaker(s)

 dimensional interior images of materials. In most experiments\, materials 
 undergo hydrodynamic shock to simulate the implosion process in nuclear bo
 mbs and/or the effects of severe hydrodynamic stress. The tests are descri
