Proton Radiography in Background Magnetic Fields
Christopher Arran, Christopher P. Ridgers, Nigel C. Woolsey
Proton radiography has proved increasingly successful as a diagnostic for electric and magnetic fields in high energy density physics experiments. Most experiments use target-norma…
Highly efficient conversion of laser energy to hard X-rays in high intensity laser-solid simulations
Stuart Morris, Alex Robinson, Christopher Ridgers
We present simulations which predict significantly higher laser to X-ray efficiencies than those previously found in high intensity (1e20-1e22 W/cm2) laser-solid simulations. The b…
The inadequacy of a magnetohydrodynamic approach to the Biermann Battery
C. P. Ridgers, C. Arran, J. J. Bissell +1
Magnetic fields can be generated in plasmas by the Biermann battery when the electric field produced by the electron pressure gradient has a curl. The commonly employed magnetohydr…
Ultrafast Polarization of an Electron Beam in an Intense Bi-chromatic Laser Field
Daniel Seipt, Dario Del Sorbo, Christopher P. Ridgers +1
Here, we demonstrate the radiative polarization of high-energy electron beams in collisions with ultrashort pulsed bi-chromatic laser fields. Employing a Boltzmann kinetic approach…
Incorporating Kinetic Effects on Nernst Advection in Inertial Fusion Simulations
J. P. Brodrick, M. Sherlock, W. A. Farmer +8
We present a simple method to incorporate nonlocal effects on the Nernst advection of magnetic fields down steep temperature gradients, and demonstrate its effectiveness in a numbe…
