7th International Workshop on Warm Dense Matter (WDM 2013)

8th International Conference on Inertial Fusion Sciences and Applications
June 23 - June 26, 2013
12:00 am - 12:00 am
Palais du Grand Large, Saint-Malo, France

WDM 2013

This workshop will be the seventh in the series, following Vancouver (2000, 2005), Hamburg (2003), Porquerolles (2007), Hakone (2009) and Pacific Grove (2011).

Warm Dense Matter (WDM) refers to the broad regime of material states that occur between conventional condensed matter and plasmas that cannot be satisfactorily described by standard theory in either field. Matter density ranges from liquid to many times solid, temperatures comparable to the Fermi energy and above, and pressures that are consequently large. Capability in WDM is crucial for understanding the evolution of large planets, the dynamics of planetary collisions, and the transition of matter from a condensed to a high energy-density state. WDM is created in strong shocks and in intensely heated matter. It is a state of matter where molecular, atomic, and ionic interactions are all important, where theory and experiment are extremely challenging.
