Dynamics of nanosecond laser pulse propagation and of associated instabilities in a magnetized underdense plasma
W. Yao, A. Higginson, J. -R. Marquès +19
The propagation and energy coupling of intense laser beams in plasmas are critical issues in laser-driven inertial confinement fusion. Applying magnetic fields to such a setup has…
Experimental observations of detached bow shock formation in the interaction of a laser-produced plasma with a magnetized obstacle
Joseph M. Levesque, Andy S. Liao, Patrick Hartigan +14
The magnetic field produced by planets with active dynamos, like the Earth, can exert sufficient pressure to oppose supersonic stellar wind plasmas, leading to the formation of a s…
Characterization of the stability and dynamics of a laser-produced plasma expanding across strong magnetic field
Weipeng Yao, Julien Capitaine, Benjamin Khiar +5
Magnetized laser-produced plasmas are central to many new studies in laboratory astrophysics, inertial confinement fusion, and industrial applications. Here we present the results…
Inefficient magnetic-field amplification in supersonic laser-plasma turbulence
A. F. A. Bott, L. Chen, G. Boutoux +17
We report a laser-plasma experiment that was carried out at the LMJ-PETAL facility and realized the first magnetized, turbulent, supersonic plasma with a large magnetic Reynolds nu…
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…
