Confinement of relativistic electrons in a magnetic mirror en route to a magnetized relativistic pair plasma
J. von der Linden, G. Fiksel, J. Peebles +5
Creating magnetized relativistic pair plasma in the laboratory would enable the exploration of unique plasma physics relevant to some of the most energetic events in the universe.…
Laser-Plasma Interactions Enabled by Emerging Technologies
J. P. Palastro, F. Albert, B. Albright +51
An overview from the past and an outlook for the future of fundamental laser-plasma interactions research enabled by emerging laser systems.
Development of a platform for experimental and computational studies of magnetic and radiative effects on astrophysically-relevant jets at OMEGA
G. Rigon, C. Stoeckl, T. M. Johnson +3
Accurate modeling of astrophysical jets is critical for understanding accretion systems and their impact on the interstellar medium. While astronomical observations can validate mo…
Proton probing measurements of filamentary electromagnetic structure in laser ablation of solids
J. Peebles, P. V. Heuer, D. H. Barnak +2
Proton radiography of laser direct-drive spherical implosions has shown anomalous structures that correspond to strong electric or magnetic fields extending throughout the corona.…
High-angle Deflection of the Energetic Electrons by a Voluminous Magnetic Structure in Near-normal Intense Laser-plasma Interactions
J. Peebles, A. V. Arefiev, S. Zhang +14
The physics governing electron acceleration by a relativistically intense laser are not confined to the critical density surface, they also pervade the sub-critical plasma in front…
