Experimental evidence for coronal mass ejection suppression in strong stellar magnetic fields
S. N. Chen, K. Burdonov, W. Yao +10
Solar coronal mass ejections (CME) are routinely observed, but as of yet there exist few convincing detections of stellar CMEs. A reason for this could be the stronger magnetic fie…
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…
Investigating particle acceleration dynamics in interpenetrating magnetized collisionless super-critical shocks
W. Yao, A. Fazzini, S. N. Chen +9
Colliding collisionless shocks appear in a great variety of astrophysical phenomena and are thought to be possible sources of particle acceleration in the Universe. We have previou…
Optimizing laser coupling, matter heating, and particle acceleration from solids using multiplexed ultraintense lasers
Weipeng Yao, Motoaki Nakatsutsumi, Sébastien Buffechoux +20
Realizing the full potential of ultrahigh-intensity lasers for particle and radiation generation will require multi-beam arrangements due to technology limitations. Here, we invest…
Laboratory observation of plasmoid-dominated magnetic reconnection in hybrid collisional-collisionless regime
Z. H. Zhao, H. H. An, Y. Xie +15
Magnetic reconnection, breaking and reorganization of magnetic field topology, is a fundamental process for rapid release of magnetic energy into plasma particles that occurs perva…
Particle energization in colliding subcritical collisionless shocks investigated in the laboratory
A. Fazzini, W. Yao, K. Burdonov +16
Colliding collisionless shocks appear in a great variety of astrophysical phenomena and are thought to be possible sources of particle acceleration in the Universe. To investigate…
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…
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…
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…
Transport of relativistic jet in the magnetized intergalactic medium
W. P. Yao, B. Qiao, Z. Xu +6
The kinetic effects of magnetic fields on the transport of relativistic jet in the intergalactic medium remain uncertain, especially for their perpendicular component. By particle-…
The baryon loading effect on relativistic astrophysical jet transport in the interstellar medium
W. P. Yao, B. Qiao, Z. Xu +6
The composition of the astrophysical relativistic jets remains uncertain. By kinetic particle-in-cell simulations, we show that the baryon component in the jet, or the so-called ba…
