Beam & Plasma R&D
We are an industrial world leader in high energy density plasma research. Our team of theorists, experimentalists and diagnosticians develop state-of-the-art cold, warm and hot x-rays for nuclear weapons effects testing. Our recent ground breaking activities include very high current (15 MA) and long implosion time (200 ns) z-pinch research on all major US accelerators including Z at Sandia National Laboratory, Decade Quad at Arnold Engineering Development Center and Double-EAGLE, a Defense Threat Reduction Agency test facility at L-3 Pulse Sciences. This team also develops advanced diodes for warm and hot x-ray applications.

In addition to high energy density plasma research, we also research and develop atmospheric plasma discharges for homeland defense applications. We have designed and built plasma devices for chemical and biological agent defeat and building protection.

Our staff provides end-to-end research solutions to technical problems. We turn ideas into laboratory and engineering prototypes ready for mission-specific applications.
