Mission

Recognizing its place within a major university, the NTF accepts the primacy of its mission to train and graduate students at all levels: Ph. D. and M. S. graduate students and B.S. undergraduates. NTF maintains excellence in high energy density physics research, the study of matter in all phases under extreme conditions of temperature and density. The Nevada Terawatt Facility focuses on z-pinch physics and high intensity laser plasma interaction.

NTF seeks to become a preeminent user facility and science center in high energy density physics. Establish strategic collaborations to enhance and guide the scientific program. The NTF is the facility of choice for students studying z-pinch plasma physics and laser-matter interaction in magnetized plasmas. The NTF prepares the new generation of physicists to become scientific leaders in high energy density physics.
