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…
Laboratory evidence of the halting of magnetic reconnection by a weak guide field
S. Bolanos, R. Smets, S. N. Chen +10
Magnetic reconnection occurs when two plasmas having co-planar but anti-parallel magnetic fields meet. At the contact point, the field is locally annihilated and the magnetic energ…
Joule-level high effiency energy transfer to sub-picosecond laser pulses by a plasma-based amplifier
J. -R. Marquès, L. Lancia, T. Gangolf +9
Laser plasma amplification of sub-picosecond pulses above the Joule level is demonstrated, a major milestone for this scheme to become a solution for the next-generation of ultra-h…
