Mega-Gauss Plasma Jet Creation Using a Ring of Laser Beams
L. Gao, E. Liang, Y. Lu +11
Using 20 OMEGA laser beams at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, University of Rochester, to irradiate a flat plastic target in a hollow ring configuration, we created supersonic…
Studying particle acceleration from driven magnetic reconnection at the termination shock of a relativistic striped wind using particle-in-cell simulations
Yingchao Lu, Fan Guo, Patrick Kilian +3
A rotating pulsar creates a surrounding pulsar wind nebula (PWN) by steadily releasing an energetic wind into the interior of the expanding shockwave of supernova remnant or inters…
Modeling hydrodynamics, magnetic fields and synthetic radiographs for high-energy-density plasma flows in shock-shear targets
Yingchao Lu, Shengtai Li, Hui Li +11
Three-dimensional FLASH radiation-magnetohydrodynamics (radiation-MHD) modeling is carried out to study the hydrodynamics and magnetic fields in the shock-shear derived platform. S…
MPRAD: A Monte Carlo and ray-tracing code for the proton radiography in high-energy-density plasma experiments
Yingchao Lu, Hui Li, Kirk A. Flippo +4
Proton radiography is used in various high-energy-density (HED) plasma experiments. In this paper, we describe a Monte Carlo and ray-tracing simulation tool called MPRAD that can b…
Kinetic simulations of fusion ignition with hot-spot ablator mix
James D. Sadler, Yingchao Lu, Benjamin Spiers +9
Inertial confinement fusion fuel suffers increased X-ray radiation losses when carbon from the capsule ablator mixes into the hot-spot. Here we present one and two-dimensional ion…
An \mathcal{O}(N) Maxwell solver with improved numerical dispersion properties
Yingchao Lu, Chengkun Huang, Patrick Kilian +3
A Maxwell solver derived from finite element method with \mathcal{O}(N) computing cost is developed to improve the numerical dispersion properties in relativistic particle-in-cell…
