124Argus laser — Argus was a two beam high power infrared neodymium doped silica glass laser with a 20 cm output aperture built at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1976 for the study of inertial confinement fusion. Argus advanced the study of laser… …
125Methods of detecting extrasolar planets — Any planet is an extremely faint light source compared to its parent star. In addition to the intrinsic difficulty of detecting such a faint light source, the light from the parent star causes a glare that washes it out. For those reasons, only a …
126Richtmyer-Meshkov instability — The Richtmyer Meshkov instability (RMI) occurs when an interface between fluids of differing density is impulsively accelerated, e.g. by the passage of a shock wave. The development of the instability begins with small amplitude perturbations… …
127HiPER — The High Power laser Energy Research facility (HiPER), is an experimental laser driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF) device undergoing preliminary design for possible construction in the European Union starting around 2010. HiPER is the first …
128System of Physical Quantities — of Nikolay A. Plotnikov (SPQ) the classification of physical quantities or physical operators, that makes it possible to reveal their dependence on the geometry of space time and fundamental physical constants in the form of differential… …
