On The Structure of Plasma Jets in the Rotating Plasma Experiment
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, L. G. Suttle, F. Suzuki-Vidal +9
Recent pulsed-power experiments have demonstrated the formation of astrophysically-relevant, differentially rotating plasmas [1]. Key features of the plasma flows are the discovery…
Investigating radiatively driven, magnetised plasmas with a university scale pulsed-power generator
Jack W. D. Halliday, Aidan Crilly, Jeremy Chittenden +8
We present first results from a novel experimental platform which is able to access physics relevant to topics including indirect-drive magnetised ICF; laser energy deposition; var…
A Time-Resolved Imaging System for the Diagnosis of X-ray Self-Emission in High Energy Density Physics Experiments
Jack W. D. Halliday, Simon N. Bland, Jack D. Hare +4
A diagnostic capable of recording spatially and temporally resolved X-ray self emission data was developed to characterise experiments on the MAGPIE pulsed-power generator. The dia…
First radiative shock experiments on the SG-II laser
Francisco Suzuki-Vidal, Thomas Clayson, Chantal Stehlé +17
We report on the design and first results from experiments looking at the formation of radiative shocks on the Shenguang-II (SG-II) laser at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fi…
Two-Colour Interferometry and Thomson Scattering Measurements of a Plasma Gun
J. D. Hare, J. MacDonald, S. N. Bland +6
We present experimental measurements of a pulsed plasma gun, using two-colour imaging laser interferometry and spatially resolved Thomson scattering. Interferometry measurements gi…
Ion heating and magnetic flux pile-up in a magnetic reconnection experiment with super-Alfvenic plasma inflows
L. G. Suttle, J. D. Hare, S. V. Lebedev +15
This work presents a magnetic reconnection experiment in which the kinetic, magnetic and thermal properties of the plasma each play an important role in the overall energy balance…
An Experimental Platform for Pulsed-Power Driven Magnetic Reconnection
J. D. Hare, L. G. Suttle, S. V. Lebedev +12
We describe a versatile pulsed-power driven platform for magnetic reconnection experiments, based on exploding wire arrays driven in parallel [Suttle, L. G. et al. PRL, 116, 225001…
Formation and Structure of a Current Sheet in Pulsed-Power Driven Magnetic Reconnection Experiments
J. D. Hare, S. V. Lebedev, L. G. Suttle +16
We describe magnetic reconnection experiments using a new, pulsed-power driven experimental platform in which the inflows are super-sonic but sub-Alfvénic.The intrinsically magneti…
