Structure of self-generated magnetic fields in laser-solid interaction from proton tomography
Jesse Griff-McMahon, Christopher A. Walsh, Vicente Valenzuela-Villaseca +9
Strong magnetic fields are naturally self-generated in high-power, laser-solid interactions through the Biermann-battery mechanism. This work experimentally characterizes the 3D lo…
X-ray imaging and electron temperature evolution in laser-driven magnetic reconnection experiments at the National Ignition Facility
V. Valenzuela-Villaseca, J. M. Molina, D. B. Schaeffer +13
We present results from X-ray imaging of high-aspect-ratio magnetic reconnection experiments driven at the National Ignition Facility. Two parallel, self-magnetized, elongated lase…
Laboratory study of magnetic reconnection in lunar-relevant mini-magnetospheres
Lucas Rovige, Filipe D. Cruz, Robert S. Dorst +7
Mini-magnetospheres are small ion-scale structures that are well-suited to studying kinetic-scale physics of collisionless space plasmas. Such ion-scale magnetospheres can be found…
Two-dimensional Thomson scattering in high-repetition-rate laser-plasma experiments
H. Zhang, J. J. Pilgram, C. G. Constantin +7
We present the first two-dimensional (2D) optical Thomson scattering measurements of electron density and temperature in laser-produced plasmas. The novel instrument directly measu…
Design of proton deflectometry with in situ X-ray fiducial for magnetized HED systems
S. Malko, C. Johnson, D. B. Schaeffer +2
We report a design and implementation of proton radiography with an in situ reference X-ray image of a mesh to precisely measure non-uniform magnetic fields in expanding plasmas at…
Kinetic simulations of electron pre-energization by magnetized collisionless shocks in expanding laboratory plasmas
K. V. Lezhnin, W. Fox, D. B. Schaeffer +4
Collisionless shocks are common features in space and astrophysical systems where supersonic plasma flows interact, such as in the solar wind, the heliopause, and supernova remnant…
