The 2026 ANS Annual Conference is offering a tour of the world’s leading laser fusion company, Xcimer Energy. Xcimer’s leadership will provide an exclusive tour of the laser prototypes at their laser facility in Denver, CO, then conduct a Q&A with all participants.

The tour will highlight Xcimer’s novel approach of using excimer laser technology to achieve higher gains at a lower cost in inertial confinement fusion. Visitors will view the Long Pulse Kinetics platform -- a research amplifier that achieved world records in 2025, and the Kilo-Joule Class amplifier. Guests will also see the beam line for demonstrating pulse length compression technology, which will power Xcimer’s next-generation break-even facility, code-named Vulcan.

This event offers attendees a unique experience to understand the science and engineering behind laser inertial fusion – the only scientifically validated fusion approach with a clear path to commercialization.

Please note that photography is prohibited inside the facility, and cellphones must remain in pockets.
