Kinetic simulations of electron pre-energization by magnetized collisionless shocks in expanding laboratory plasmas
K. V. Lezhnin, W. Fox, D. B. Schaeffer +4
Collisionless shocks are common features in space and astrophysical systems where supersonic plasma flows interact, such as in the solar wind, the heliopause, and supernova remnant…
Weibel instability drives large magnetic field generation in laser-driven single plume ablation
Jackson Matteucci, Will Fox, Amitava Bhattacharjee +6
First-principles kinetic simulations are used to investigate magnetic field generation processes in expanding ablated plasmas relevant to laser-driven foils and hohlraums. In addit…
Particle Velocity Distributions in Developing Magnetized Collisionless Shocks in Laser-Produced Plasmas
D. B. Schaeffer, W. Fox, R. K. Follett +5
We present the first laboratory observations of time-resolved electron and ion velocity distributions in forming, magnetized collisionless shocks. Thomson scattering of a probe las…
Generation and Evolution of High-Mach Number, Laser-Driven Magnetized Collisionless Shocks in the Laboratory
Derek Schaeffer, Will Fox, Dan Haberberger +5
Shocks act to convert incoming supersonic flows to heat, and in collisionless plasmas the shock layer forms on kinetic plasma scales through collective electromagnetic effects. The…
Magnetic reconnection in plasma under inertial confinement fusion conditions driven by heat flux effects in Ohm's law
A. S. Joglekar, A. G. R. Thomas, W. Fox +1
In the interaction of high-power laser beams with solid density plasma there are a number of mechanisms that generate strong magnetic fields. Such fields subsequently inhibit or re…
Filamentation instability of counter-streaming laser-driven plasmas
W. Fox, G. Fiksel, A. Bhattacharjee +4
Filamentation due to the growth of a Weibel-type instability was observed in the interaction of a pair of counter-streaming, ablatively-driven plasma flows, in a supersonic, collis…
