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,…
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…
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…
Strong suppression of heat conduction in a laboratory replica of galaxy-cluster turbulent plasmas
J. Meinecke, P. Tzeferacos, J. S. Ross +32
Galaxy clusters are filled with hot, diffuse X-ray emitting plasma, with a stochastically tangled magnetic field whose energy is close to equipartition with the energy of the turbu…
Time-resolved fast turbulent dynamo in a laser plasma
A. F. A. Bott, P. Tzeferacos, L. Chen +25
Understanding magnetic-field generation and amplification in turbulent plasma is essential to account for observations of magnetic fields in the universe. A theoretical framework a…
Modeling hydrodynamics, magnetic fields and synthetic radiographs for high-energy-density plasma flows in shock-shear targets
Yingchao Lu, Shengtai Li, Hui Li +11
Three-dimensional FLASH radiation-magnetohydrodynamics (radiation-MHD) modeling is carried out to study the hydrodynamics and magnetic fields in the shock-shear derived platform. S…
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…
Transport of high-energy charged particles through spatially-intermittent turbulent magnetic fields
L. E. Chen, A. F. A. Bott, P. Tzeferacos +22
Identifying the sources of the highest energy cosmic rays requires understanding how they are deflected by the stochastic, spatially intermittent intergalactic magnetic field. Here…
Inferring Morphology and Strength of Magnetic Fields From Proton Radiographs
Carlo Graziani, Petros Tzeferacos, Donald Q. Lamb +1
Proton radiography is an important diagnostic method for laser plasma experiments, and is particularly important in the analysis of magnetized plasmas. The theory of radiographic i…
