Observation of Shock-Front Separation in Multi-Ion-Species Collisional Plasma Shocks
Tom Byvank, Samuel J. Langendorf, Carsten Thoma +1
We observe shock-front separation and species-dependent shock widths in multi-ion-species collisional plasma shocks, which are produced by obliquely merging plasma jets of a He/Ar…
Experimental Study of Ion Heating in Obliquely Merging Hypersonic Plasma Jets
Samuel J Langendorf, Kevin C Yates, Scott C Hsu +2
In this experiment, we measure ion temperature evolution of collisional plasma shocks and colliding supersonic plasma flows across a range of species (Ar, Kr, Xe, N), Mach numbers,…
Experimental Measurements of Ion Heating in Collisional Plasma Shocks and Interpenetrating Supersonic Plasma Flows
Samuel J. Langendorf, Kevin C. Yates, Scott C. Hsu +2
We present time-resolved measurements of ion heating due to collisional plasma shocks and interpenetrating supersonic plasma flows, which are formed by the oblique merging of two c…
Emittance Growth in Linear Induction Accelerators
Carl Ekdahl
The Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrotest (DARHT) facility uses bremsstrahlung radiation source spots produced by the focused electron beams from two linear induction accelerators (LIAs…
Emittance growth in linear induction accelerators
C. A. Ekdahl, B. T. McCuistian, M. E. Schulze +4
The Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrotest (DARHT) facility uses bremsstrahlung radiation source spots produced by the focused electron beams from two linear induction accelerators (LIAs…
Particle-in-cell simulations of laser beat-wave magnetization of dense plasmas
D. R. Welch, T. C. Genoni, C. Thoma +2
The interaction of two lasers with a difference frequency near that of the ambient plasma frequency produces beat waves that can resonantly accelerate thermal electrons. These beat…
Multi-chord fiber-coupled interferometry of supersonic plasma jets and comparisons with synthetic data
Elizabeth C. Merritt, Alan G. Lynn, Mark A. Gilmore +3
A multi-chord fiber-coupled interferometer [Merritt et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 83, 033506 (2012)] is being used to make time-resolved density measurements of supersonic argon plasm…
Simulations of Magnetic Field Generation in Unmagnetized Plasmas via Beat Wave Current Drive
D. R. Welch, T. C. Genoni, C. Thoma +3
This work describes the scientific basis and associated simulation results for the magnetization of an unmagnetized plasma via beat wave current drive. Two-dimensional electromagne…
