Detailed characterization of laboratory magnetized super-critical collisionless shock and of the associated proton energization
W. Yao, A. Fazzini, S. N. Chen +19
Collisionless shocks are ubiquitous in the Universe and are held responsible for the production of non-thermal particles and high-energy radiation. In the absence of particle colli…
Inferring possible magnetic field strength of accreting inflows in EXor-type objects from scaled laboratory experiments
K. Burdonov, R. Bonito, T. Giannini +28
Aims. EXor-type objects are protostars that display powerful UV-optical outbursts caused by intermittent and powerful events of magnetospheric accretion. These objects are not yet…
Ion acceleration by an ultrashort laser pulse interacting with a near-critical-density gas jet
M. Ehret, C. Salgado-Lopez, V. Ospina-Bohorquez +28
We demonstrate laser-driven Helium ion acceleration with cut-off energies above 25 MeV and peaked ion number above /MeV for 22(2) MeV projectiles from near-critical density…
Laboratory evidence for proton energization by collisionless shock surfing
W. Yao, A. Fazzini, S. N. Chen +19
Charged particles can be accelerated to high energies by collisionless shock waves in astrophysical environments, such as supernova remnants. By interacting with the magnetized amb…
Enhanced x-ray emission arising from laser-plasma confinement by a strong transverse magnetic field
E. D. Filippov, S. S. Makarov, K. F. Burdonov +13
We analyze, using experiments and 3D MHD numerical simulations, the dynamics and radiative properties of a plasma ablated by a laser (1 ns, 10-10 W/cm) from a sol…
Laboratory evidence for asymmetric accretion structure upon slanted matter impact in young stars
K. Burdonov, G. Revet, R. Bonito +15
Investigating in the laboratory the process of matter accretion onto forming stars through scaled experiments is important in order to better understand star and planetary systems…
Laboratory disruption of scaled astrophysical outflows by a misaligned magnetic field
G. Revet, B. Khiar, E. Filippov +20
The shaping of astrophysical outflows into bright, dense and collimated jets due to magnetic pressure is here investigated using laboratory experiments. We notably look at the impa…
Laser-produced magnetic-Rayleigh-Taylor unstable plasma slabs in a 20 T magnetic field
B. Khiar, G. Revet, A. Ciardi +15
Magnetized laser-produced plasmas are central to many novel laboratory astrophysics and inertial confinement fusion studies, as well as in industrial applications. Here we provide…
Laser experiment for the study of accretion dynamics of Young Stellar Objects: design and scaling
G. Revet, B. Khiar, J. Béard +5
A new experimental set-up designed to investigate the accretion dynamics in newly born stars is presented. It takes advantage of a magnetically collimated stream produced by coupli…
Laboratory unravelling of matter accretion in young stars
G. Revet, S. N. Chen, R. Bonito +22
Accretion dynamics in the forming of young stars is still object of debate because of limitations in observations and modelling. Through scaled laboratory experiments of collimated…
Collimated protons accelerated from an overdense gas jet irradiated by a 1 micron wavelength high-intensity short-pulse laser
S. N. Chen, M. Vranic, T. Gangolf +13
We have investigated proton acceleration in the forward direction from a near-critical density hydrogen gas jet target irradiated by a high intensity (10^18 W/cm^2), short-pulse (5…
