Pump-Depletion Dynamics and Saturation of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in Shock Ignition Relevant Experiments
S. Zhang, J. Li, C. M. Krauland +15
As an alternative inertial confinement fusion scheme with predicted high energy gain and more robust designs, shock ignition requires a strong converging shock driven by a shaped p…
Laser reflection as a catalyst for direct laser acceleration in multipicosecond laser-plasma interaction
Kathleen Weichman, Alexander P. L. Robinson, Farhat N. Beg +1
We demonstrate that laser reflection acts as a catalyst for superponderomotive electron production in the preplasma formed by relativistic multipicosecond lasers incident on solid…
Laser-driven strong magnetostatic fields with applications to charged beam transport and magnetized high energy-density physics
J. J. Santos, M. Bailly-Grandvaux, M. Ehret +28
Powerful laser-plasma processes are explored to generate discharge currents of a few kA in coil targets, yielding magnetostatic fields (B-fields) in excess of kT. The…
Heavy ion acceleration using femtosecond laser pulses
G. M. Petrov, C. McGuffey, A. G. R. Thomas +2
Theoretical study of heavy ion acceleration from ultrathin (<200 nm) gold foils irradiated by a short pulse laser is presented. Using two dimensional particle-in-cell simulations t…
