Nuclear Excitation by Electronic Processes: the generation of hot and dense plasmas

我建议我花第一年的时间在量子场论，QED和QCD以及所有应用方面变得直观。所有理论和实验命题的文献综述将很快完成。我们希望讨论和分析所有可行的方法，并将其缩小到2 - 3个;考虑到成本和成功的可能性（这将取决于初步测量的可靠性）。这将反过来导致第二年，这将主要涉及模拟工作，使我们能够积累所需的激光/加速器时间。第三年将在所需的设施中度过，努力获得数据，直到达到可持续的成功统计标准。如果能根据NEEC的观测目标开发出新的、有用的实验方法，那将是极好的。

I propose that I spend the first year becoming intuitively competent in Quantum Field Theory, QED and QCD and all applications [in this case]. A literature review would be quickly completed on all theories and all experimental propositions. We would hopefully discuss and analyse all viable methods and narrow it down to 2 - 3; taking into account cost and likelihood of success (which would rely on the reliability of preliminary measurements). This would in turn lead to the second year, which would largely involve simulation work allowing us to accrue the laser/accelerator time required. The third year would then be spent at the required facility, diligently attaining data until a publishable statistical standard of success is reached. It would be excellent if new and useful experimental methods could be developed as a result of the NEEC observation goal.
