Saturation of the compression of two interacting magnetic flux tubes evidenced in the laboratory
A. Sladkov, C. Fegan, W. Yao +16
Interactions between magnetic fields advected by matter play a fundamental role in the Universe at a diverse range of scales. A crucial role these interactions play is in making tu…
A portable X-pinch design for x-ray diagnostics of warm dense matter
J. Strucka, J. W. D. Halliday, T. Gheorghiu +13
We describe the design and x-ray emission properties (temporal, spatial, and spectral) of Dry Pinch I, a portable X-pinch driver developed at Imperial College London. Dry Pinch I i…
Absolute keV X-ray yield and conversion efficiency in over dense Si petawatt laser plasma
Sergey N. Ryazantsev, Artem S. Martynenko, Maksim V. Sedov +15
Laser-produced plasmas are bright, short sources of X-rays often used for time-resolved imaging and spectroscopy. Absolute measurement requires accurate knowledge of laser-to-x-ray…
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…
Laser scattering by submicron droplets originated during the electrical explosion of thin metal wires
V. M. Romanova, G. V. Ivanenkov, E. V. Parkevich +5
This paper presents the results of studying of dispersed media formation during the electrical explosion of thin metal wires in vacuum by using low-current generators (-$10…
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 for asymmetric accretion structure upon slanted matter impact in young stars
K. Burdonov, G. Revet, R. Bonito +15
Investigating in the laboratory the process of matter accretion onto forming stars through scaled experiments is important in order to better understand star and planetary systems…
Laboratory disruption of scaled astrophysical outflows by a misaligned magnetic field
G. Revet, B. Khiar, E. Filippov +20
The shaping of astrophysical outflows into bright, dense and collimated jets due to magnetic pressure is here investigated using laboratory experiments. We notably look at the impa…
Coherent x-ray radiation induced by high-current breakdown on a ferrite surface
Ivan N. Tilikin, Sergey Yu. Savinov, Nikolai V. Pestovskii +3
We for the first time observe that at the initial stage of a high-current discharge, a low-divergence short (< 2 ns) electromagnetic pulse is formed over a ferrite surface. The 50%…
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…
Young Stars and their Variability with LSST
Rosaria Bonito, Patrick Hartigan, Laura Venuti +35
Young stars exhibit short-term photometric variability caused by mass accretion events from circumstellar disks, the presence of dusty warps within the inner disks, starspots that…
Exotic dense matter states pumped by relativistic laser plasma in the radiation dominant regime
J. Colgan, J. Abdallah, A. Ya. Faenov +18
The properties of high energy density plasma are under increasing scrutiny in recent years due to their importance to our understanding of stellar interiors, the cores of giant pla…
5.5-7.5 MeV Proton generation by a moderate intensity ultra-short laser interaction with H2O nano-wire targets
A. Zigler, T. Palchan, N. Bruner +8
We report on the first generation of 5.5-7.5 MeV protons by a moderate intensity short-pulse laser (4.5 \times 1017 W/cm^2, 50 fsec) interacting with H2O nano-wires (snow) deposite…
