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…
