Weibel-mediated filamentary structures observed in the ICF context
C. Ruyer, S. Bolaños, P. E. Masson Laborde +16
In light of novel and past experimental results, we demonstrate how Weibel-mediated filamentary structures can develop in the expanding plasma plume of a laser-irradiated foil. The…
Experimental mitigation of fast magnetic reconnection in multiple interacting laser-produced plasmas
S. Bolaños, R. Smets, C. Courtois +11
The meeting of astrophysical plasmas and their magnetic fields creates many reconnection sites. We experimentally compare the reconnection rate of laser-driven magnetic reconnectio…
Accounting for speckle scale beam-bending in classical ray tracing schemes for propagating realistic pulses in indirect drive ignition conditions
C. Ruyer, P. Loiseau, G. Riazuelo +3
We propose a semi-analytical modeling of smoothed laser beams deviation induced by plasma flows. Based on a Gaussian description of speckles, the model includes spatial, temporal a…
Laboratory evidence of the halting of magnetic reconnection by a weak guide field
S. Bolanos, R. Smets, S. N. Chen +10
Magnetic reconnection occurs when two plasmas having co-planar but anti-parallel magnetic fields meet. At the contact point, the field is locally annihilated and the magnetic energ…
