Proton Imaging of High-Energy-Density Laboratory Plasmas
Derek B. Schaeffer, Archie F. A. Bott, Marco Borghesi +8
Proton imaging has become a key diagnostic for measuring electromagnetic fields in high-energy-density (HED) laboratory plasmas. Compared to other techniques for diagnosing fields,…
Determining the Self-Similar Stage of the Rayleigh-Taylor Instability via LLNL's NIF Discovery Science Experiments
A. Shimony, C. M. Huntington, K. A. Flippo +4
We report a novel measurement of the late time self-similar growth constant of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) from controlled initial perturbations. To this end, we ha…
Direct measurement of non-thermal electron acceleration from magnetically driven reconnection in a laboratory plasma
Abraham Chien, Lan Gao, Shu Zhang +24
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous astrophysical process that rapidly converts magnetic energy into some combination of plasma flow energy, thermal energy, and non-thermal energ…
