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…
Laser astrophysics experiment on the amplification of magnetic fields by shock-induced interfacial instabilities
Takayoshi Sano, Shohei Tamatani, Kazuki Matsuo +19
Laser experiments are becoming established as a new tool for astronomical research that complements observations and theoretical modeling. Localized strong magnetic fields have bee…
Enhancement of ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability growth by thermal conduction suppression in a magnetic field
Kazuki Matsuo, Takayoshi Sano, Hideo Nagatomo +5
Ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability growth was investigated to elucidate the fundamental physics of thermal conduction suppression in a magnetic field. Experiments found that unst…
Thermonuclear Fusion Triggered by Collapsing Standing Whistler Waves in Magnetized Overdense Plasmas
Takayoshi Sano, Shinsuke Fujioka, Yoshitaka Mori +2
Thermal fusion plasmas initiated by standing whistler waves are investigated numerically by two- and one-dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulations. When a standing whistler wave col…
Kilotesla plasmoid formation by a trapped relativistic laser beam
M. Ehret, Yu. Kochetkov, Y. Abe +11
A strong quasi-stationary magnetic field is generated in hollow targets with curved internal surface under the action of a relativistically intense picosecond laser pulse. Experime…
Peta-Pascal Pressure Driven by Fast Isochoric Heating with Multi-Picosecond Intense Laser Pulse
Kazuki Matsuo, Naoki Higashi, Natsumi Iwata +31
Fast isochoric laser heating is a scheme to heat a matter with relativistic-intensity ( 10 W/cm) laser pulse or X-ray free electron laser pulse. The fast isochoric la…
Hard particle spectra of galactic X-ray sources by relativistic magnetic reconnection in laser lab
K. F. F. Law, Y. Abe, A. Morace +18
Magnetic reconnection is a process whereby magnetic field lines in different directions "reconnect" with each other, resulting in the rearrangement of magnetic field topology toget…
Two-Dimensional Computation of Pulsed Magnetic Field Diffusion Dynamics in Gold Cone with Consideration of Inductive Heating and Temperature Dependence of Electrical Conductivity
Hiroki Morita, Atsushi Sunahara, Yasunobu Arikawa +2
Application of an external kilo-tesla-level magnetic field, which can be generated using high-intensity laser, to a target is a promising scheme to reduce spray angle of a laser-dr…
Super-ponderomotive electron acceleration in blowout plasma heated by multi-picosecond relativistic intensity laser pulse
Sadaoki Kojima, Masayasu Hata, Natsumi Iwata +25
The dependence of the mean kinetic energy of laser-accelerated electrons on the laser intensity, so-called ponderomotive scaling, was derived theoretically with consideration of th…
Whispering gallery effect in relativistic optics
Y. Abe, K. -F. -F. Law, Ph. Korneev +17
A relativistic laser pulse, confined in a cylindrical target, performs multiple scattering along the target surface. The confinement property of the target results in a very effcie…
