Simulations of Magnetic Field Generation in Unmagnetized Plasmas via Beat Wave Current Drive
D. R. Welch, T. C. Genoni, C. Thoma +3
This work describes the scientific basis and associated simulation results for the magnetization of an unmagnetized plasma via beat wave current drive. Two-dimensional electromagne…
Direct photon production in d+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV
A. Adare, S. S. Adler, S. Afanasiev +543
Direct photons have been measured in sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV d+Au collisions at midrapidity. A wide p_T range is covered by measurements of nearly-real virtual photons (1<p_T<6 GeV/c) a…
Transverse-energy distributions at midrapidity in , Au, and AuAu collisions at --200~GeV and implications for particle-production models
S. S. Adler, S. Afanasiev, C. Aidala +388
Measurements of the midrapidity transverse energy distribution, $d\Et/dη$, are presented for , Au, and AuAu collisions at GeV and addition…
5.5-7.5 MeV Proton generation by a moderate intensity ultra-short laser interaction with H2O nano-wire targets
A. Zigler, T. Palchan, N. Bruner +8
We report on the first generation of 5.5-7.5 MeV protons by a moderate intensity short-pulse laser (4.5 \times 1017 W/cm^2, 50 fsec) interacting with H2O nano-wires (snow) deposite…
Priliminary Modeling of Air Breakdown with the ICEPIC code
A. E. Schulz, A. D. Greenwood, K. L. Cartwright +6
Interest in air breakdown phenomena has recently been re-kindled with the advent of advanced virtual prototyping of radio frequency (RF) sources for use in high power microwave (HP…
