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…
Biermann-battery driven magnetized collisionless shock precursors in laser produced plasmas
Timothy Johnson, Graeme Sutcliffe, Jacob Pearcy +14
This letter reports the first complete observation of magnetized collisionless shock precursors formed through the compression of Biermann-battery magnetic fields in laser produced…
Ion and Electron Acoustic Bursts during Anti-Parallel Magnetic Reconnection Driven by Lasers
Shu Zhang, Abraham Chien, Lan Gao +10
Magnetic reconnection converts magnetic energy into thermal and kinetic energy in plasma. Among numerous candidate mechanisms, ion acoustic instabilities driven by the relative dri…
Diagnosing Magnetic Fields in Cylindrical Implosions with Oblique Proton Radiography
P. V. Heuer, L. S. Leal, J. R. Davies +8
Two experiments on the OMEGA Laser System used oblique proton radiography to measure magnetic fields in cylindrical implosions with and without an applied axial magnetic field. Alt…
Experimental observations of detached bow shock formation in the interaction of a laser-produced plasma with a magnetized obstacle
Joseph M. Levesque, Andy S. Liao, Patrick Hartigan +14
The magnetic field produced by planets with active dynamos, like the Earth, can exert sufficient pressure to oppose supersonic stellar wind plasmas, leading to the formation of a s…
Insensitivity of a turbulent laser-plasma dynamo to initial conditions
A. F. A. Bott, L. Chen, P. Tzeferacos +18
It has recently been demonstrated experimentally that a turbulent plasma created by the collision of two inhomogeneous, asymmetric, weakly magnetised laser-produced plasma jets can…
