Observation of Shock-Front Separation in Multi-Ion-Species Collisional Plasma Shocks
Tom Byvank, Samuel J. Langendorf, Carsten Thoma +1
We observe shock-front separation and species-dependent shock widths in multi-ion-species collisional plasma shocks, which are produced by obliquely merging plasma jets of a He/Ar…
Experimental Study of Ion Heating in Obliquely Merging Hypersonic Plasma Jets
Samuel J Langendorf, Kevin C Yates, Scott C Hsu +2
In this experiment, we measure ion temperature evolution of collisional plasma shocks and colliding supersonic plasma flows across a range of species (Ar, Kr, Xe, N), Mach numbers,…
Relativistic laser driven electron accelerator using micro-channel plasma targets
Joseph Snyder, Liangliang Ji, Kevin M. George +11
We present an experimental demonstration of the efficient acceleration of electrons beyond 60 MeV using micro-channel plasma targets. We employed a high-contrast, 2.5 J, 32 fs shor…
Experimental Measurements of Ion Heating in Collisional Plasma Shocks and Interpenetrating Supersonic Plasma Flows
Samuel J. Langendorf, Kevin C. Yates, Scott C. Hsu +2
We present time-resolved measurements of ion heating due to collisional plasma shocks and interpenetrating supersonic plasma flows, which are formed by the oblique merging of two c…
Particle-in-cell studies of fast-ion slowing-down rates in cool tenuous magnetized plasma
E. S. Evans, S. A. Cohen, D. R. Welch
We report on 3D-3V particle-in-cell simulations of fast-ion energy-loss rates in cold, weakly-magnetized, weakly-coupled plasma where the electron gyroradius, , is comparabl…
Kinetic modeling of x-ray laser-driven solid Al plasmas via particle-in-cell simulation
Ryan Royle, Yasuhiko Sentoku, Roberto C. Mancini +2
Solid-density plasmas driven by intense x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) radiation are seeded by sources of non-thermal photoelectrons and Auger electrons that ionize and heat the…
