Particle-in-cell simulations of expanding high energy density plasmas with laser ray tracing
K. V. Lezhnin, S. R. Totorica, A. S. Hyder +5
The design and analysis of high energy density (HED) laser experiments typically rely on radiation hydrodynamics simulations. However, some laser-plasma interaction regimes are not…
Proton Radiography Inversions with Source Extraction and Comparison to Mesh Methods
J. Griff-McMahon, V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, S. Malko +4
Proton radiography is a central diagnostic technique for measuring electromagnetic (EM) fields in high-energy-density, laser-produced plasmas. In this technique, protons traverse t…
X-ray imaging and electron temperature evolution in laser-driven magnetic reconnection experiments at the National Ignition Facility
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, J. M. Molina, D. B. Schaeffer +13
We present results from X-ray imaging of high-aspect-ratio magnetic reconnection experiments driven at the National Ignition Facility. Two parallel, self-magnetized, elongated lase…
Greater than five-order-of-magnitude post-compression temporal contrast improvement with an ionization plasma grating
Matthew R. Edwards, Nicholas M. Fasano, Andreas M. Giakas +7
High-intensity lasers require suppression of prepulses and other non-ideal temporal structure to avoid target disruption before the arrival of the main pulse. To address this, we d…
