Study of magnetic reconnection at low- using laser-powered capacitor coils
H. Ji, L. Gao, G. Pomraning +10
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous fundamental process in space and astrophysical plasmas that rapidly converts magnetic energy into some combination of flow energy, thermal ene…
Cross-beam energy transfer in conditions relevant to direct-drive implosions on OMEGA
K. L. Nguyen, L. Yin, B. J. Albright +5
In cross-beam energy transfer (CBET), the interference of two laser beams ponderomotively drives an ion-acoustic wave that coherently scatters light from one beam into the other. T…
Ion and Electron Acoustic Bursts during Anti-Parallel Magnetic Reconnection Driven by Lasers
Shu Zhang, Abraham Chien, Lan Gao +10
Magnetic reconnection converts magnetic energy into thermal and kinetic energy in plasma. Among numerous candidate mechanisms, ion acoustic instabilities driven by the relative dri…
Direct measurement of non-thermal electron acceleration from magnetically driven reconnection in a laboratory plasma
Abraham Chien, Lan Gao, Shu Zhang +24
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous astrophysical process that rapidly converts magnetic energy into some combination of plasma flow energy, thermal energy, and non-thermal energ…
Cross-beam energy transfer saturation by ion trapping-induced detuning
K. L. Nguyen, L. Yin, B. J. Albright +5
The performance of direct-drive inertial confinement fusion implosions relies critically on the coupling of laser energy to the target plasma. Cross-beam energy transfer (CBET), th…
Particle Velocity Distributions in Developing Magnetized Collisionless Shocks in Laser-Produced Plasmas
D. B. Schaeffer, W. Fox, R. K. Follett +5
We present the first laboratory observations of time-resolved electron and ion velocity distributions in forming, magnetized collisionless shocks. Thomson scattering of a probe las…
Resonance absorption of a broadband laser pulse
J. P. Palastro, J. G. Shaw, R. K. Follett +5
Broad bandwidth, infrared light sources have the potential to revolutionize inertial confinement fusion (ICF) by suppressing laser-plasma instabilities. There is, however, a tradeo…
