The '''The Wootton Center for Astrophysical Plasma Properties (WCAPP)''' at UT Austin explores the atomic and radiation physics of plasmas under extreme conditions, providing insights into astrophysical phenomena like stellar interiors, white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black hole accretion disks. By leveraging experiments at facilities like Sandia National Laboratories' Z facility, WCAPP connects terrestrial lab experiments with cosmic observations, advancing both astrophysics and the National Nuclear Security Administration's stockpile stewardship mission.
