program that introduces students to HED science. All three national laboratories have close collaborations with several of NNSA's Academic Centers of Excellence,1 and laboratory scientists contribute to developing HED curricula and teach at summer schools.

"There's not a whole lot of other places that can study that," he said. "This laser is definitely one to use for HED science." "It brings people from all different schools, from whatever research they're doing, in here to do something totally different," said a Princeton University graduate student.

who are leaving the national laboratories to pursue other careers. These include positions in industry, startups (including emerging fusion energy startups)

Finding: Technical staff at NNSA laboratories and experimental facilities have developed a unique set of skills that are learned "on the job," including diag nostic techniques, experimental setups, and detectors specific to the needs of HED science.

science facilities (e.g., the National Ignition Facility, Z Pulsed Power Facility, and Omega Laser Facility) hosted by national laboratories or universities serve as attractors for talent and make it easier to maintain vibrant HED science programs (see Appendix C)

and providing open/educational versions of their computational codes. ROLE OF INDUSTRY With each new generation of HED science facility, new and innovative tech nologies need to be developed to fully explore new regimes of matter.

This symbiotic relationship between HED science research and industry has far reaching implications. In one famous example, mirror technology used in HED experiments led to the formation of a virtual national laboratory that ultimately led to the successful development of extreme ultraviolet (EUV)

From page 84... ...
Additionally, greater industrial involvement offers the opportunity to expand the HED science workforce. More visibility of industrial opportunities related to HED science can broaden the community, as a wider range of career options can improve recruitment and retention. More recently, there has also been a rapid increase in the number of com panies that perform work related to HED science, specifically in inertial fusion energy (IFE)
