Magnetic field generation by the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in laser-driven planar plastic targets
L Gao, PM Nilson, IV Igumenschev +7
Magnetic fields generated by the Rayleigh-Taylor instability were measured in laser-accelerated planar foils using ultrafast proton radiography. Thin plastic foils were irradiated…
Review of the First Charged-Particle Transport Coefficient Comparison Workshop
P. E. Grabowski, S. B. Hansen, M. S. Murillo +42
We present the results of the first Charged-Particle Transport Coefficient Code Comparison Workshop, which was held in Albuquerque, NM October 4-6, 2016. In this first workshop, sc…
Implementing a microphysics model in hydrodynamic simulations to study the initial plasma formation in dielectric ablator materials for direct-drive implosions
Arnab Kar, S. X. Hu, G. Duchateau +2
A microphysics model to describe the photoionization and impact ionization processes in dielectric ablator materials like plastic has been implemented into the one-dimensional hydr…
Direct-drive measurements of laser-imprint-induced shock velocity nonuniformities
J. L. Peebles, S. X. Hu, W. Theobald +8
Perturbations in the velocity profile of a laser-ablation-driven shock wave seeded by speckle in the spatial beam intensity (i.e., laser imprint) have been measured. Direct measure…
Simulated Refraction-Enhanced X-Ray Radiography of Laser-Driven Shocks
Arnab Kar, T. R. Boehly, P. B. Radha +9
Refraction-enhanced x-ray radiography (REXR) is used to infer shock-wave positions of more than one shock wave, launched by a multiple-picket pulse in a planar plastic foil. This i…
Biermann battery-mediated magnetic reconnection in 3-D colliding plasmas
Jackson Matteucci, Will Fox, Amitava Bhattacharjee +5
Recent experiments have demonstrated magnetic reconnection between colliding plasma plumes, where the reconnecting magnetic fields were self-generated in the plasma by the Biermann…
Filamentation instability of counter-streaming laser-driven plasmas
W. Fox, G. Fiksel, A. Bhattacharjee +4
Filamentation due to the growth of a Weibel-type instability was observed in the interaction of a pair of counter-streaming, ablatively-driven plasma flows, in a supersonic, collis…
FPEOS: A First-Principles Equation of State Table of Deuterium for Inertial Confinement Fusion Applications
S. X. Hu, B. Militzer, V. N. Goncharov +1
Understanding and designing inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions through radiation-hydrodynamics simulations rely on the accurate knowledge of the equation of state (EOS) o…
