'Warm Dense Matter: Investigating Planets and Stars in the Laboratory'

Abstract:
High-energy laser systems can be used to mimic extreme states of matter, as
ound in the interiors of various celestial bodies, in the laboratory. 
Combining
such laser systems with extremely bright X-ray sources, such as X-ray free
electron lasers, allows for studying exotic physical processes in 
real-time. This
includes diamond precipitation, which has been predicted to happen deep 
inside
Neptune and Uranus, and many other interesting phenomena.
