Hurricane\, Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff\nChief Scientist for the Inertial Confinement Fusion Prog ram\, Design Physics (DP) Division of Lawrence Livermore National Laborato ry\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr Omar Hurricane\, \n\nAgenda: \nAbstract:\nFor many de cades the running joke in fusion research has been that `fusion’ is twen ty years away and always will be. Yet\, this year we find ourselves in a p osition where we can talk about the milestones of burning plasmas\, fusion ignition\, and target energy gain greater than unity in the past tense – a situation that is remarkable! In this talk\, we tell the story of th e applied physics challenges that needed to be overcome to achieve these m ilestones and the strategy our team followed. To help understand the story \, several key physics principles of inertial fusion will be presented\, a nd I will try and dispel any confusion about what the terms burning\, igni tion\, and gain mean in the context of inertial fusion research.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nOmar Hurricane is Chief Scientist for the inertial confineme nt fusion program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory\, a position h e’s held since 2014. Omar completed his PhD in Physics at UCLA in 1994 w here he remained as a postdoc doing plasma theory until 1998. In 2009\, Om ar was awarded the Department of Energy E.O. Lawrence Award for National S ecurity and Nonproliferation for solving a long-standing nuclear weapons a nomaly. More recently\, Omar has been recognized for his contributions to inertial confinement fusion with Fellowship in the American Physical Socie ty (APS)\, the 2021 Edward Teller Award of the American Nuclear Society\, and the 2022 John Dawson Award from Excellence in Plasma Physics of the AP S for achieving the first laboratory burning plasma.\n\nVirtual: https://e vents.vtools.ieee.org/m/350188 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/350188 ORGANIZER:pawlan@ieee.org SEQUENCE:3 SUMMARY:Successful Nuclear Fusion Achieved for the First Time in History URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/350188 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><div class="form-group horizontal">\n<div cla ss="controls">Title: <strong>How Ignition and Target Gain &gt\; 1 was achi eved in inertial fusion</strong><br />presented by Dr. Omar A.
