معرفی
John Richard Pasley is a Reader in the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology at the University of York, with a focus on Inertial Confinement Fusion, Fast Ignition, and Shock Wave Analysis. He is part of the Plasma Physics and Fusion Group and contributes to experimental and theoretical advancements in laser-plasma interactions.
- Research Interests:
- Inertial Confinement Fusion
- Fast Ignition
- Radiation Hydrodynamics
- Hohlraum Modeling
- Shock Wave and Implosion Dynamics
Recent publications highlight his work in laser-driven ion acceleration, electron beam generation via tailored plasmas, and shock wave characterization in materials like cyclohexane and TMPTA foams. His studies employ time-resolved diagnostics and femtosecond laser techniques to explore high-energy density physics.
Grants and Projects include leadership in HiPER (STFC, 2008-2011), Experimental Characterisation of Shock Waves (EPSRC, 2011-2013), and collaborative research on extreme ultraviolet lasers (EPSRC, 2012-2015). He maintains international collaborations with institutions in India and Japan.
Based at the York Plasma Institute and RAL, Pasley's work bridges laser physics, plasma hydrodynamics, and inertial fusion energy development.
