In addition to developing scientific software,
our staff is involved in research projects involving collaborations
with several U. S. national laboratories and universities.
Research efforts at Prism are concentrated in the following
areas:
Atomic physics
Plasma physics
Spectroscopy
Hydrodynamics
Radiation and heat transfer
Quantitative analysis.
Much of these efforts involve theoretical and computational studies
of laboratory and astrophysical plasmas. Current research activities
include:
Simulation and analysis of spectra (x-ray, EUV, UV,
visible) obtained in z-pinch and laser-produced plasma experiments.
Development of efficient x-ray and EUV radiation sources.
Radiative and hydrodynamic properties of LTE and non-LTE
laboratory plasmas.
Atomic and spectral properties of laboratory and astrophysical
plasmas.
