Thermomagnetic instability of plasma composition gradients
James D. Sadler, Hui Li
We show that, under Braginskii magneto-hydrodynamics, anti-parallel gradients in average ion charge state and electron temperature can be unstable to the growth of self-generated m…
Symmetric set of transport coefficients for collisional magnetized plasma
James D. Sadler, Christopher A. Walsh, Hui Li
In Braginskii extended magneto-hydrodynamics (ExMHD), applicable to collisional astrophysical and high energy density plasmas, the electric field and heat flow are described by the…
Nonlinear wakefields and electron injection in cluster plasma
Marko Mayr, Ben Spiers, Ramy Aboushelbaya +6
Laser and beam driven wakefields promise orders of magnitude increases in electric field gradients for particle accelerators for future applications. Key areas to explore include t…
Magnetization around mix jets entering inertial confinement fusion fuel
James D. Sadler, Hui Li, Brian M. Haines
Engineering features are known to cause jets of ablator material to enter the fuel hot-spot in inertial confinement fusion implosions. The Biermann battery mechanism wraps them in…
Magnetic field generation from composition gradients in inertial confinement fusion fuel
James D. Sadler, Hui Li, Kirk A. Flippo
Experimental asymmetries in fusion implosions can lead to magnetic field generation in the hot plasma core. For typical parameters, previous studies found that the magnetisation Ha…
Overcoming the dephasing limit in multiple-pulse laser wakefield acceleration
James D. Sadler, Christopher Arran, Hui Li +1
The electric field in laser-driven plasma wakefield acceleration is orders of magnitude higher than conventional radio-frequency cavities, but the energy gain is limited by dephasi…
