Abstract

High-Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics is a fastdeveloping multi-disciplinary field which brings together the work of scientists from universities, laboratories and research institutions in Australia, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan, and the United States. The melding of high-energy density plasma laboratory experiments, and their associated theory to problems of direct relevance to astrophysics results in the new discipline of high-energy density laboratory astrophysics. It is therefore appropriate that we here present this Special Issue dedicated to this fastgrowing and important new field. The laboratory work presented here includes the results of experiments performed with a variety of medium and large-scale high-energy density drivers including the OMEGA and OMEGA-EP lasers, the Jupiter facility lasers, the Z pulsed-power facility, the LULI2000 laser, and the Magpie and Zebra pulsed-power machines, employing a
