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…
