Creating and studying extreme matterTom Hurry of Plasma Physics leans into the TA-North experimental chamber to adjust the target positioner and particle beam diagnostics before an experiment at the Trident Laser Facility. Laboratory scientists use Trident, which is located at Technical Area 35, to create and study extreme states of matter, such as plasma, by shining a brief, intense pulse of light onto a solid target, which heats a small volume of material into a million-degree microplasma. The round cylindrical objects behind Hurry are porthole covers of the chamber. Other Headlines
